This book explores how romantic comedy has responded to shifting sexual and social attitudes over the past decade. Its editor, Maria San Filippo, presents that response as revitalising rather than declining.
The book sets out to defy the alleged death of romantic comedy, and argues that the genre keeps renewing itself in new modes and forms. The contributions treat these forms as innovative in ideological, artistic and commercial terms.
Published by Wayne State University Press. ISBN-13: 9780814346730. The book suits readers of film and media studies and of popular romance.
