	Genre-form Guide (Motion Picture and Television Reading Room, Library ofCongress)
		Genre headings are particularly appropriate for moving image works because they cover a specific, key element that otherwise would be lacking for scholars doing research.
		Today, genre serves as a shorthand for archivists, scholars, and filmmakers, having become the single best recognized and intrinsically appropriate way to categorize film and television works into readily understood classifications.
		Most moving image works overlap with other genres, so although the primary genre is the one in which a title appears as an example, secondary genre headings that would be appropriately applied are given in parentheses after each title.

	Romance (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a literary genre, romance refers to a style of heroic prose and verse narrative current in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
		Romances had been deemed harmful distractions from more substantive or moral works from the high Middle Ages, in works of piety, but by 1600 most readers would agree.
		The story of the medieval romance focuses not upon love and sentiment, but upon adventure; some would call contemporary comic books and sci-fi the genre's successors.

	Library of Congress, Collections Policy Statements, Fantasy and Science Fiction
		Since the genre of fantasy and science fiction is dominated by works published or distributed within the United States, the Library will acquire all important books and serials which document this important trend in the writing and publishing culture of the United States.
		The Library should attempt to collect all the works of those authors writing within the genre who have won one or more of the above-mentioned awards on three or more occasions (see Appendix E).
		Although often overlooked, the predominantly Anglo-American genre of fantasy and its sub-genre, science fiction, both express and embody with increasing significance important elements of the popular culture of the United States, as well many other nations; hence, they are accorded separate treatment in the present statement.

	Editorial: Where Does Genre Come From?, by Jed Hartman
		There are real and valid differences between genres, but works that fall on or between the borders of genres are hard to categorize clearly; and it's those works that often provide fertile ground for expanding and enriching the cores of the genres.
		All such discussions are doomed, of course; even agreeing on a useful definition for a given genre is nigh-impossible.
		Still, I'm interested in exploring genre definitions and boundaries, and in looking at fiction that crosses genres, or that falls into the interstices between genres.

		Archetypes, according to Jung, are "primordial images"; the "psychic residue" of repeated types of experience in the lives of very ancient ancestors which are inherited in the "collective unconscious" of the human race and are expressed in myths, religion, dreams, and private fantasies, as well as in the works of literature (Abrams, p.

	NEH 2005 Info
		Such an approach ignores the fact that the works of writers in any one literary genre were often significantly impacted by works in other genres, even when the intellectual and ideological issues involved may appear at first glance to be very different.
		Often genre-specialist scholar/teachers of poetry or fiction incorporate little of the other genre in their teaching – or scholarship – in part because that is how they studied their authors in the first place.
		Many of us studied in courses devoted to individual genres rather than to a more "whole" approach to literary and extra-literary texts; many of us have subsequently gone on to specialize in a single genre, so that the scholarship we produce, like the roster of courses we often teach, perpetuates this largely genre-specific model.

	Romancing Reality: The Power of Romance Fiction to Reinforce and Re-Vision the Real
		Keiler writes that “What the heroine does, not what she is, lies at the heart of the novels I write,” and every one of her books has been fiercely feminist while remaining true to everything that is important in the romance genre (Arnold 134).
		One of the faculty members at the school where I teach told me, after I’d told her that I wrote romances, that she had assigned specific authors in the genre course she was teaching for all genres except romance because “those books are all alike,” evidently expecting me to agree that I was a hack.
		Certainly the heroine in the romances I enjoy comes to a greater sense of self through the arc of the story, but she does so through both actions and relationships, while the hero follows his own character arc at the same time, maturing in the same way.

	Writing Genres Devitt
		Genres such as these have the power to ease communication or to deceive, to enable someone to speak or to discourage someone from saying something different.
		Beginning by defining genre as a typified rhetorical action occurring at the nexus of situation, culture, and other genres, Devitt argues that genre highlights variations in texts necessary for creativity, a treatment that opposes the traditional view of genre as constraining and homogenizing.
		Writing Genres demonstrates how genres function within their communities rhetorically and socially, how they develop out of their contexts historically, how genres relate to other types of norms and standards in language, and how genres nonetheless enable creativity.

	Genre fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contemporary fiction-publishing, genre is an elastic term used to group works sharing similarities of character, theme, and setting—such as mystery, romance, or horror—that have been proven to appeal to particular groups of readers.
		In the publishing industry the term "category fiction" is often used as a synonym for genre fiction, with the categories serving as the familiar shelf headings within the fiction section of a bookstore, such as Western or mystery.
		For a number of reasons, genre fiction is often regarded as the lower-quality opposite of literary fiction.

		A genre is a division of a particular form of art according to criteria particular to that form.

	Horror fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern practitioners of the genre have often resorted to progressively greater extremes of violence, often recalling grand guignol theatre.
		A variation on the Gothic formula that remains one of the most enduring and imitated horror works is Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818, revised version 1831).
		Nevertheless, contemporary writers such as Clive Barker in The Books of Blood and Stephen King in his more considered work, such as Misery, are capable of bringing off the horror effect without the excessive violence that characterises much of the current mainstream of this genre.

	Genre and the western
		In fact, one of the major challenges in genre studies, one which is rarely confronted despite the literary origins of the field, is to provide yardsticks for analysing the quality of works that for the most part are considered to "defy extended aesthetic analysis" (ibid:458).
		Genre products, therefore, apart from their intrinsic quality, exclude themselves from some audiences as well as appealing to others, with the result that movie makers soon learned to combine genres, and producers today hire script doctors who can intermix genres to apparently interest a broader audience.
		The arrival of television brought to the fore several new genres in the effort to maintain cinema audiences.
