About
Stories of Romance is a site that promotes Romantic literature in a variety of genres; from Historical to Contemporary, from Multicultural to Erotic, Suspense and Paranormal, and so on.
Text books describe The "'Romantic Period" as an artistic, literary and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Europe, and gained strength in reaction to the Industrial Revolution. In many ways, this is still our escape in modern days, whether you are rich or poor, office worker, blue colour, domestic engineer or student. The movement was and still is a personal revolt against social, economic and political norms of our age, and for many, our daily lives. Naturally, romanticism means different things to different people, but we all yearn for love and affection, acceptance and nurturing, and why not also adventure and fantasy. All this is embodied strongly the literature presented on this site.
The movement validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror and terror and awe—especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories.
Modern usage of term "Romance" usually refer to the romance novel, which is a subgenre that focuses on the relationship and romantic love between two people; these novels must have an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending. "Despite the popularity of the popular meaning of Romance, other works are still, occasionally, referred to as romances because of their uses of other elements descended from the medieval romance, or from the Romantic movement: larger-than-life heroes and heroines, drama and adventure, marvels that may become fantastic, themes of honor and loyalty, or fairy-tale-like stories and story settings.
In short, whatever your interpretation of Romance may be, you are bound to find it on Stories of Romance.
