POPPEL, Hubert. THE QUEENS OF THE ROMANCE NOVEL IN SPAIN AND GERMANY: CORÍN TELLADO AND HEDWIG COURTHS-MAHLER. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2014, n.66, pp.153-170. ISSN 0120-5587.

Corín Tellado, in Spain, and Hedwig Courths-Mahler, in Germany, are the most successful female authors of their countries. Within completely different historical, social, and cultural contexts, they assumed and developed the popular form of the romance novel. In a first approach, we will ask for the space they and their oeuvre have occupied in the past and still occupy in the present. A second approach shall lead us to the -counterfactual- promises that the two authors offer to their readers by means of the romantic novel genre.

Palavras-chave : popular literature; romance novel; Spain; Germany; 20^th century.
