"We've Come a Long Way" (view Page 1, view Page 2, view Page 3)
"Charting the Course of Romantic Fiction" by Mary Anne Landers (view Page 1, view Page 2, view Page 3, view Page 4, view Page 5, view Page 6). This is a 6-page article about the romance genre which may be a good introduction to the genre's history (at least up to 1992), despite a few errors (for example, Harlequin Presents debuted in 1973, not 1975). Landers marks the beginning of the genre as 1919 when "the first romance pulp magazine, Love Stories, premiered." This puts romance more in line with science fiction, where many fans cite the debut of Amazing Stories magazine in 1926 as the genre's start. However, Landers makes two errors here: the magazine was called Love Story Magazine (not Love Stories) and it began in 1921, not 1919.
