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.

It is comparable to the italy Italian giallo genre. Exploitation fiction grew out of Pulp fiction genre pulp fiction of the 1930s and 40s. It was popular trash fiction in the form of mass market paperback s in the 1950s and 60s, when genuine, sexually explicit material could be seized as obscene. In the United States , material that went by U.S. Postal Service U.S. mail was subject to federal obscenity laws that greatly curtailed the distribution of materials that were sexually explicit or featured graphic violence. These cheap novels exploited violence, drugs, and sex especially promiscuity and lesbianism but rarely delivered the kind of salacious detail their cover art implied and generally tacked on moralistic endings to satisfy critics who accused them of having no redeeming social value. They were often repackaged under new titles with different cover art, to resell to the unsuspecting public looking for cheap thrills. As Production Code film production codes loosened in the early 1960s, exploitation fiction led to exploitation film exploitation cinema again parallel to the development of giallo cinema , typified by Russ Meyer films.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Context date October 2009 The concept of fiction absolute exists firstly within the context of anthropology , secondly within the study of group psychology and tribalism . The term was coined and defined by journalist Tom Wolfe , who defined it as the propaganda that a tribe or social group employs to explain why that group is the best of all groups and its people the best people. The term itself indicates that it is absolutist in that it defines in stark terms why members should prefer that tribe, and necessarily fictional because it is propaganda, although it might have some basis in truth. The fiction absolute is essentially a tribe s core propaganda. It can lead to Toleration intolerance and forms of collective action .
