Old School
Romance
by Conrad V. Sucatre is a lively short history of the
early years of popular romantic fiction, from 1900 to the early
1960s. Written in a nostalgic, unpretentious style, this book explores
the work of bestselling authors who are forgotten today: Faith
Baldwin, Grace Livingston Hill, Temple Bailey and many more. Classic
works such as Gone With the Wind, The Sheik, and Magnificent
Obsession are examined along with the lives of their authors. Even
Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, is credited for his
contributions to romantic literature. A perfect book for nostalgia buffs
and romance novel fans alike!
