- Novels written for the mass market, intended to be "a good read,"--often exciting, titillating, thrilling. Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality. The earliest ones were the dime novels of the nineteenth century, printed on newsprint (hence "pulp" fiction) and sold for ten cents. Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction. Robert Harris - VirtualSalt
- Example sentence(s)
- At five to twenty-five cents an issue, pulp fiction was a literature accessible to Americans at every income level—often sold at newsstands and drugstores. Until the mid-1950s, pulp fiction was the literature of choice for the reading public, before it was supplanted by comic books and paperbacks. - The Library of Congress-American Memory by
- The pulp fiction era provided a breeding ground for creative talent which would influence all forms of entertainment for decades to come. The hardboiled detective and science fiction genres were created by the freedom that the pulp fiction magazines provided. - Vintage New Media, inc. by
- Pulp fiction was a great avenue to escape the mundane and escape into a world of gangsters and good guys, cowboys and cattlemen, spaceships and star travelers. For a thin dime one could read from the pens of some of the best writers of the era: the era of pulp fiction. - Robert Wheadon by

- Definition(s)
- Literatura de consum nu mai înseamnă Sandra Brown, ci Paulo Coelho. Sau chiar Henry Miller. Ea nu mai poate fi ironizată sau denigrată, pentru că cei care o scriu, cei care o promovează şi cei care o vînd sînt profesionişti. Atributul "de consum" nu înseamnă că literatura pe care o caracterizează e proastă. Consumatorul nu e neapărat, aşa cum unii ideologi vor să ne facă să credem, individul pasiv, incult şi frustrat. Pentru a nu refuza o comparaţie la îndemînă, cu toate simplificările şi omisiunile pe care le implică, literatura de consum este, faţă de literatura "pură", ceea ce este muzica pop/rock faţă de cea simfonică. Jimi Hendrix faţă de Schoenberg, The Prodigy faţă de Stockhausen. Avem, de-acum, două literaturi - care comunică, desigur - şi două regimuri de vizibilitate ale literaturii. În mare, avem o literatură care contestă literatura în chiar interiorul cîmpului literar (ca Schoenberg în muzică, de pildă), dar recuperînd realitatea literală (cum Stockhausen recuperează realitatea sonoră), şi o literatură contestatară, anti-socială, dar, din perspectivă literară, obedientă unui model de reprezentare recunoscut - şi, deci, vandabilă, recuperată de societatea de consum (ca Hendrix în muzică).

- Claude Bremond a privit structura povestirii ca pe o suită de micronaraţiuni, de ex. proiectul, pretenţia, contractul, pericolul, înşelătoria. Mai uşor de studiat în cazul naraţiunilor alcătuite după „reţetă”, de tip mit, basm (Harap-Alb), literatură de consum, dar şi în romanul lui Nicolae Filimon unde se văd „cusăturile”. - Regie live (curs naratologie) by Sandra Roselee

- Definition(s)
- Trivialliteratur ist eine Form literarischer Unterhaltung. Mit dem Begriff wird seit den 20er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts der Bereich der populären, häufig als minderwertig angesehenen Massenliteratur bezeichnet. Wikipedia, - by Anke McElligott
- Example sentence(s)
- Die Trivialliteratur widmet sich in einer vereinfachenden, klischeehaften und oftmals eine „heile Welt” vorspiegelnden Weise Themen wie Liebe, Tod, Abenteuer, Verbrechen, Krieg usw. (Kitsch, Schundliteratur). In Sprache, Verständlichkeit und Emotionalität ist sie so strukturiert, dass sie den Erwartungen eines großen Massenpublikums gerecht wird (indem sie diesem eine schöne Welt mit einer klaren Unterscheidung zwischen Gut und Böse vorstellt). Das wesentliche Merkmal ist in diesem Sinne, dass sie den Erwartungshorizont des Lesers nicht durchbricht. Dadurch kommt es zu einer Bestätigung (Affirmation) bestehender Meinungen, Gesellschaftsbilder usw., während dagegen die Hochliteratur eine Auseinandersetzung mit gängigen Vorstellungen und Denkweisen anstrebt. Deshalb existiert als weiteres Synonym für Trivialliteratur auch der Begriff affirmative Literatur (als Gegensatz zu kritischer Literatur). - Wikipedia by Anke McElligott
