| Summary: | Generally distinguished from literary fiction, genre fiction, also known as popular fiction, is analyzed in a dictionary article pointing at definition of this literary genre, origins, history, evolution and typology. The focus of the article remains on the 19th century literature that illustrates this genre in France and in Romania (as Romanian literature imported the popular fiction from France). The article clarifies terminological clues and underlines the fact that this genre should not be mistaken with the feuilleton novel, as feuilleton was just belonging to the marketing means of the time. Representatives of fiction genres in Romanian literature are listed and impact of the phenomenon to the mainstream literature is discussed. The conventional structure of the genre is also mentioned in order to uncover the mechanisms of attracting the readers and making this category of literature so successful. |
