Abstract

Romance fiction is one of the popular fiction genres. It focuses on the romantic relationship of two characters and it must have a satisfactory ending, the "happily-ever-after". While the genre follows the familiar plot line, it has also depicted the current society and social norms. The graduation thesis is an insight on the historical development of romance fiction, the emergence of its subgenres, its popularity with readers and gradual acceptance by the critics. Considering that it is a genre mainly written for and by women, the thesis focuses on women readers and women characters. In order to present the similarities and difference between a Traditional Romance novel and a Contemporary Romance novel, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and the Austen Addicts series by Victoria Connelly are compared.

Secondary abstract:	Ljubezenski roman je eden izmed leposlovnih žanrov. V središču je romantičen odnos med dvema literarnima osebama, ki ima zadovoljiv oziroma srečen konec. Ljubezenski romani sledijo znanemu razpletu, vendar hkrati upodabljajo družbo in družbene razmere, v katerih nastanejo. Diplomsko delo daje vpogled v zgodovinski razvoj ljubezenskega romana, nastanek podzvrsti, popularnost pri bralcih in postopno sprejetje pri kritikih. Glede na to, da večino ljubezenskih romanov pišejo ženske za ženske, se diplomsko delo osredotoča na bralke in ženske like. Za prikaz enakosti in razlik med tradicionalnim ljubezenskim romanom ter sodobnim ljubezenskim romanom sta primerjana Prevzetnost in pristranost Jane Austen ter serija romanov Austen Addicts Victorie Connelly.
