   Abstract = {Originally published in 1984, Reading the Romance challenges
             popular (and often demeaning) myths about why romantic
             fiction, one of publishing's most lucrative categories,
             captivates millions of women readers. Among those who have
             disparaged romance reading are feminists, literary critics,
             and theorists of mass culture. They claim that romances
             enforce the woman reader's dependence on men and acceptance
             of the repressive ideology purveyed by popular culture.
             Radway questions such claims, arguing that critical
             attention "must shift from the text itself, taken in
             isolation, to the complex social event of reading." She
             examines that event, from the complicated business of
             publishing and distribution to the individual reader's
             engagement with the text. Radway's provocative approach
             combines reader-response criticism with anthropology and
             feminist psychology. Asking readers themselves to explore
             their reading motives, habits, and rewards, she conducted
             interviews in a midwestern town with forty-two romance
             readers whom she met through Dorothy Evans, a chain
             bookstore employee who has earned a reputation as an expert
             on romantic fiction. Evans defends her customers' choice of
             entertainment; reading romances, she tells Radway, is no
             more harmful than watching sports on television. "We read
             books so we won't cry" is the poignant explanation one woman
             offers for her reading habit. Indeed, Radway found that
             while the women she studied devote themselves to nurturing
             their families, these wives and mothers receive insufficient
             devotion or nurturance in return. In romances the women find
             not only escape from the demanding and often tiresome
             routines of their lives but also a hero who supplies the
             tenderness and admiring attention that they have learned not
             to expect. The heroines admired by Radway's group defy the
             expected stereotypes; they are strong, independent, and
             intelligent. That such characters often find themselves to
             be victims of male aggression and almost always resign
             themselves to accepting conventional roles in life has less
             to do, Radway argues, with the women readers' fantasies and
             choices than with their need to deal with a fear of
             masculine dominance. These romance readers resent not only
             the limited choices in their own lives but the patronizing
             atitude that men especially express toward their reading
             tastes. In fact, women read romances both to protest and to
             escape temporarily the narrowly defined role prescribed for
             them by a patriarchal culture. Paradoxically, the books that
             they read make conventional roles for women seem desirable.
             It is this complex relationship between culture, text, and
             woman reader that Radway urges feminists to address. Romance
             readers, she argues, should be encouraged to deliver their
             protests in the arena of actual social relations rather than
             to act them out in the solitude of the imagination. In a new
             introduction, Janice Radway places the book within the
             context of current scholarship and offers both an
             explanation and critique of the study's limitations.},
