The History of the Harlequin Romance Novel

Author: Samantha Kay

Romans have long been associated with a guilty pleasure – covertly by women who hide behind their sunglasses on the beach or on the tops weekend in a lazy afternoon. Such novels glorify the fantasy of love – elevating the "knight in shining armor" to a level of greatness never to be experienced by men fatal, bulging biceps, mysterious eyes, lips and desirable – in the novel men are responsible for sweeping the heroine of the book of his proverbial feet, and in so doing, sweep the masses of women who cling to every word in an attempt to escape from reality – off their feet too. The novel is just that – an escape, and no one provides a portal to escape the best novel Harlequin novel.

Interestingly, the Harlequin novel began with a man, not a great novel of the dark pages and foreigners, but a Canadian businessman wishing to enter the edit. Harlequin was founded in 1949 by Richard Bonnycastle and immediately on publication of books in a wide range of popular genres in the days – Such as mysteries and West. It is not until the late 1950s, when Harlequin acquired Mills & Boon – a British romance publisher – Harlequin made its first incursion into the novel in the industry. But in the mid-1960s, Harlequin decided to concentrate solely on the release of Harlequin novels fiction – based on the enormous popularity of books (and not very sweet Bonnycastle Thrust Women of Mary).

Differentiating itself further in the market, the traditional marketing Harlequin avoided, and chose to reach their audience through traditional sales. It is for this reason that the Harlequin novel novel can be found most often on sale in pharmacies and grocery stores – at the time, often haunts the women who were the first recipients of Harlequin.
