Today it remains a multi-million dollar industry giving pleasure to many, but it is also a field of growing interest for scholars and students of literature. This Companion covers the major developments in the history of popular fiction, with specially commissioned chapters on pulp fiction, bestsellers, and comics and graphic narratives. The volume also examines the public and personal everyday contexts within which popular texts are read, highlighting the ways in which such narratives have circulated across a variety of constantly changing media, including theatre, television, cinema and new computer-based digital forms. Case studies from key genres - crime fiction, romance and Gothic horror - as well as a full chronology and guide to further reading make this collection indispensable to all those interested in this complex and vibrant cultural field. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aFiction$xSocial aspects 606 $aPopular culture and literature 606 $aLiterature and society 606 $aFiction genres 608 $aAufsatzsammlung. 615 0$aFiction$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPopular culture and literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society. 615 0$aFiction genres. 676 $a809.3 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 702 $aGlover$b David$f1946- 702 $aMcCracken$b Scott 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214641703316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to popular fiction$92493402 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
