Conference-readings: The romance novel, what a subject! It's hard enough to define what a novel is, but what about love? Without setting too many limits, it's a good idea to build up a picture of these two key notions through the various ways in which they have been intertwined. With the help of a slide show, Nicolas SOReL discusses the history of the Western romance novel through its various genres, and reads excerpts from a number of landmark novels, from Tristan and Yseult to Barbara Cartland, for a tender and colorful journey.
