A survey of ancient novels from the first to the fourth centuries B.C.E. as tales of adventure and romance. Discussions of the meaning of romance, the history of the erotic novel, the history of texts, ancient sexuality, ancient literary production, and the contemporary romance novel. University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA The Use of Love . By looking at love stories from the middle ages to the present, we will investigate why love stories seem always to have been so extraordinarily popular. We test the limits of the genre by reading a wide variety of texts, from medieval to Harlequin to gay romances, from novels which take for granted that the proper and likely outcome of a human life is marriage and family to novels that seem very skeptical about the romance plot, perhaps about any connection between two people.
