AB - Lee Jung-ok's The Illusion of Romance (moonji, 2022) is a book that examines the syntactic flow of the women’s taste reading market, the patterns of intimate relationships there, and the formation of women's identity through the romance genre.
This book is largely divided into three parts. It was largely constructed according to the diachronic flow. The first part deals with medieval, second part modern, and third part modern romance. The biggest advantage of this book is that it extends the history of romance to the Middle Ages. This is a point that is different from other studies that have usually presented only the historical flow of modern and contemporary romance. This book starts with chivalry romance, which began in medieval France, and goes through the fateful and tragic love of the romantic era, embodies the romantic utopia of modern women, and examines the process of commercializing romance.
This book is more interested in the narrative construction of female identity represented by the genre of romance than in the genre of romance itself. And the main point is to interpret women’s narratives from a female perspective. Therefore, it helps to critically approach the representative works of romance accumulated so far, philosophy, sociological theory, and literary theory about love from a female perspective. This allows the reader to experience amazing moments when he or she realizes the gender bias he or she unconsciously had.
