To wrap up my short summer podcast series on romance novels, I’m sharing broad musings on the genre’s trends, themes, and historical context. I’m getting pretty nerdy in this episode—if you like this conversational literary criticism, I highly recommend checking out my podcast with Sara Hildreth: Novel Pairings in which we hold educational chats like this one all the time.
Today I’m discussing:
* historical and social context in relation to romance novels
* the trend of “wholesome romance”
* starting over
* tight-knit friend groups and found families
* connecting today’s trends with our current moment in history
