The Look of Love: The Art of the Romance Novel | |
The Look of Love features artwork and excerpts from titles such as Passion Flower, Kept Woman, Rendezvous in Lisbon, and Jungle Nurse. Along the way, it brings attention to the pioneers of the romance novel: cover artists such as Barye Phillips and Robert Maguire, who helped define the look of paperbacks in general, and Harlequin, the grand dame of romance publishers, with more than 100 million novels sold each year.
McKnight-Trontz reveals the themes that typify both the story lines and the covers--hospital romance, the rich and raunchy, royalty, tropical paradises, Westerns, "taboo" relationships, pirates and warriors, and love triangles--resulting in this definitive compendium of camp.
A book for romance lovers everywhere.
作者简介 Jennifer McKnight-Trontz is the author of The Good Citizen's Handbook: A Guide to Proper Behavior and, with Alex Steinweiss, For the Record: The Life and Work of Alex Steinweiss.
媒体推荐 These images are intense distillations of female longing whether the heroines look implausibly innocent or delightfully wanton. -- Salon Recommends, Salon.com, January 28, 2002
