- Summary
- "Widely considered the most complex of human emotions, romantic love both shapes and reflects core societal values, its expression offering a window into the cultural zeitgeist. In popular culture, romantic love has long been a mainstay of film, television and music. The gap between fictitious narratives of love and real-life ones is, however, usually wide-American's expectations of romance and affection often transcend reality.Tracing the history of love in American culture, this book offers insight into both the national character and emotional nature."-Provided by publisher"--
