Contemporary romance is a subgenre of contemporary and romance novels. This era of romance novels that were published after 1945[1] and the Second World War.[2] Contemporary romance is generally set contemporaneously with the time of its writing.[3] The largest of the romance novel subgenres, contemporary romance novels usually reflect the mores of their time. Heroines in the contemporary romances written prior to 1970 usually quit working when they married or had children, while those novels written after 1970 usually have, and keep, a career.[4] As contemporary romance novels have grown to contain more complex plotting and more realistic characters, the line between this subgenre and the genre of women's fiction has blurred.[5]
Most contemporary romance novels contain elements that date the books, and the majority of them eventually become irrelevant to more modern readers and go out of print.[5] Those that survive the test of time, such as the works of Jane Austen are often reclassified as historical romances.[4] In a 2014 survey of romance readers, contemporary romance made up 41% of print and 44% of eBook sales compared to other romance subgenres.[6]
