Amatory fiction is a genre of British literature popular during the late 17th century and 18th century. Amatory fiction predates, and in some ways predicts, the invention of the novel . Amatory fiction was written by women and for women. As its name implies, amatory fiction is preoccupied with sexual love and romance. It is an early predecessor of the romance novel . Indeed, many themes of the contemporary romance novel were first explored in amatory fiction. The three most prominent amatory fiction writers were Eliza Haywood who wrote Love in Excess Or, The Fatal Enquiry , Delarivier Manley , and Aphra Behn . Together, these writers were known as the fair triumvirate , though their reputation for scandalous writing caused some to call them the naughty triumvirate. ref Toni O Shaughnessy Bowers, Sex, Lies, and Invisibility Amatory Fiction from the Restoration to Mid Century, The Columbia History of the British Novel , Ed.

Description In her anthology The Best of Rock Fiction, editor June Skinner Sawyers writes, Rock fiction has not received the proper respect it deserves, which is unfortunate given the caliber of writers who have captured its fleeting essence on the written page. ref Sawyers, June Skinner Ed. 2005 . The Best in Rock Fiction. Milwaukee Hal Leonard, p. vii. ref In the same anthology, Rolling Stone writer Anthony DeCurtis talks about the edgy relationship between music and the written word. Words are long standing symbols of permanence. Music ultimately is ephemeral, evaporating into your unreliable memory once you ve heard it. In taking music as their inspiration, writers seek to capture some of that immediacy, that spirit of the moment, and hold it still for their reader s pleasure. ref Sawyers, June Skinner Ed. 2005 . The Best in Rock Fiction. Milwaukee Hal Leonard, pp. xii xiv. ref See also Genre fiction References reflist External links http www.coralpress.com Coral Press, the Home of Musical Fiction Category Fiction by genre Category Musical culture ... more details
