- Definition(s)
- 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

- Régebben a köznép szórakoztatására szánt, vásári ponyván árult irodalmi alkotások. ÁImoskönyvek, mondák, mesék, betyártörténetek mellett remekművek is kerültek ponyvára (pl.: Petőfi Sándor versei).
Művészileg igénytelen, alacsony színvonalú alkotások, legtöbbször ponyvairodalomregények. Témájuk főleg a bűnüldözés, a kémkedés, valamilyen szentimentális kaland stb. Célja kizárólag a figyelem lekötése izgalmas v. annak szánt cselekménnyel. Káros társ. jelenséggé akkor válik, ha sikerűl kiszorítania az olvasmányok köréből az értékes irodalmat. http://www.kislexikon.hu/ponyvairodalom. - by Attila Kosik

- 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

- Првото драмско дело на Загорка е едночинката „Што умее жената“, изведена во 1901 година во Хрватското народно казалиште, која од тогашната унгарско-германска критика било дочекано на нож. Во тоа време, мошне влијателниот критичар Ото Краус ќе напише: „Сите нека запаметат, дека се што оваа авторка пишува, што напишала и што ќе има дрскост да напише, е и останува за сите времиња и за сите генерации-шунд литература за краварки.“ - Премин портал by Irena Kacarski-Kimova
