<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I invite contributions to an edited collection (accepted for publication) which brings together critical research on the cultural significance of ‘women’s popular erotic fiction’.

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Essays on Women and Erotic Fiction</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">seeks to explore the discursive regularities and popular debates framing the production and reception of women’s popular erotic fiction; the cultural anxieties and transformations such texts express;
the ways in which they reinscribe and negotiate relations of gender, sexuality, race, and kinship; the ever-growing proliferation of subgenres, and their role in shaping popular ideas about romance and relationships, desire and the erotic; the ideological
forces underpinning their development and visibility as both a ‘new’ and ‘popular’ form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This collection has been accepted for publication with MacFarland and Co. publishers, and is estimated to be published in 2015. I am looking for a small number of high quality papers to
replace some contributors who are no longer able to participate in this project. Consequently, I am interested in contributions which can be ready within a fairly short time frame. I am happy to consider any strong contributions on this topic. However I am
especially interested in submissions that address the following topics:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The publication of E.L. James’
<i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i> trilogy clearly marks a particularly visible moment in the apparent proliferation of ‘women’s’ erotic fiction. However, as the collection already includes a number of strong chapters on the significance of this work, I am now looking
for contributions which explore other aspects of this phenomenon. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
