项目摘要

Publishing houses face increasing criticism from the media and their readers for their lack of culturally diverse writers and characters (Beckett, 2019). However, this can only be remedied if accepted submissions by diverse authors rapidly increase (Cole, 2016). This interdisciplinary PhD, based in the Department of English Literature with co-supervision by the Department of Film and Creative Writing, will investigate this and explore the reader and writer's perspectives of diversity within the UK's romance fiction industry. I will conduct an analysis of reader research and present select chapters of a romance novel that directly interrogate issues highlighted by the empirical data and which are written in response to collaborative workshops with a reader panel.Despite the influence of Janice Radway's Reading the Romance (1982), academic scholarship on romantic fiction is a relatively recent field. Within this, Pamela Regis' A Natural History of the Romance Novel (2003), influenced an understanding of romantic fiction genre tropes. This thesis will combine these approaches, in dialogue with the current debate over diverse representation in the romance genre, as highlighted by a range of contemporary writers, including Alyssa Cole and Alisha Rai (see Romance and the Resistance, Cole and Rai, 2017). This PhD will provide a contemporary revision of Radway's reader study, within a British context. Thobaiti argues that the reader's role as co-producer of the genre remains unrecognised. My thesis is thus significant in presenting a case study of a romance novel that is written in response to and in co-production with the feedback of a reader panel.

出版社面临着来自媒体和读者越来越多的批评，因为他们缺乏文化多样性的作家和人物（贝克特，2019）。然而，只有当不同作者的作品被接受的数量迅速增加时，这种情况才能得到补救（科尔，2016）。这个跨学科的博士学位，在英国文学系与电影和创意写作系共同监督的基础上，将调查这一点，并探讨英国浪漫小说行业内的多样性的读者和作家的观点。我将进行读者研究的分析，并提出一个浪漫小说的选择章节，直接询问的经验数据突出的问题，并在与读者小组的合作workshops写的。尽管Janice Radway的阅读的浪漫（1982）的影响，浪漫小说的学术研究是一个相对较新的领域。在这方面，帕梅拉·雷吉斯的《浪漫小说的自然史》（2003）影响了对浪漫小说类型比喻的理解。本论文将结合联合收割机这些方法，在对话与当前的辩论在浪漫体裁的不同代表性，作为一系列当代作家，包括阿莉萨科尔和阿丽莎拉伊（见浪漫与抵抗，科尔和拉伊，2017）强调。这个博士学位将提供一个当代修订拉德韦的读者研究，在英国的背景下。Thobaiti认为，读者作为体裁的共同制作者的角色仍然没有得到承认。因此，我的论文是有意义的，在提出一个浪漫小说的案例研究，是写在回应和合作生产与读者小组的反馈。
