Opis

Exploring Romance: Gendered Insights into Love is a multidisciplinary volume that investigates how romantic relationships have been constructed, idealized, challenged and re-imagined across literature and film. From the political maneuvering of Esther in ancient Persia to the moral dilemmas embedded in contemporary cinema, the book reveals how love, far from being a private feeling, is deeply entwined with issues of power, identity, freedom and resistance. By situating romance within the evolving context of gender dynamics, this collection invites readers to rethink familiar narratives and to engage critically with the emotional, cultural and ideological forces that continue to shape sentimental connections.
