True Love Books Being Valid Literary Contributions

By Della Monroe


It may be easy for literary critics to dismiss romance novels as junk. They believe that the stories are poorly written and that most of the content is very shallow. However, people who write this literary genre tend to be very careful about what ideas they include in their true love books. They want their works to be appreciated as valid and interesting books and not disregarded by people who have never before read this style of writing. As such, most authors include several different themes in their stories to ensure dimension and intrigue with their readers.

To be considered a romance novel, there has to be an element of romanticism in the novel, however. Most often this element comes from two lovers overcoming remarkable odds to forge a relationship with each other. Sometimes the star-crossed lovers get married. Other times, they part ways with the promise of reuniting again in the future. Nonetheless, this basic element is found in all novels written for this genre.

Despite the inevitable ending, however, these works still feature ideas that give the novels validity and intrigue. For example, many authors of this genre like to set their stories in medieval times. They include details about how the main female character struggles against her male counterpart to gain his respect and trust. The theme touches on women's rights in that time.

Other works of romantic literature take place in frontier days of America's settling. The author might include references to historic figures like Billy the Kid or Wyatt Earp to give the story more intrigue. It also shows that the writer knows what he or she is talking about to the reader. This angle hooks readers to the story from start to finish.

Some people may wonder why authors of these tales bother to include these ideas into their works rather than just focusing on the romantic aspect. Authors generally say that they want to give their characters dimension and make them more memorable to readers. Adding other themes to the story helps achieve that goal.

This effort is intended as well to give their creations legitimacy so that they can be viewed as something more than just a dime store romance novel. Romantic stories in fact have a legitimate place in the literary world, according to many critics who have the objectivity to judge the writing fairly. The novels help round out the literary industry that is known to many today.

As such, it may come as no surprise to writers that their fan bases are growing and now include an eclectic mix of readers. Along with housewives and stay-at-home moms who have always been the traditional fan base, readers now include college professors and working professionals. College students are also known to read these books.

A true love book may seem forgettable at first glance to some critics. However, when they consider facts like the inclusion of various themes and historical notations, they might view these creations in a new light. When they do, they likewise may join a growing base of fans that have come to appreciate these books as something to read for pleasure.
