          • 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

          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Letërsia masive/masovike është një narracion tepër popullor që ka lindur që në shekullin XIX si fenomen social i qendrave të urbanizuara në kulturat paramoderniste. Kryesisht me zhanrin e romanit, kjo letërsi etiketohet si romani dedektiv; romani shkencor (science-fiction) dhe joshkencor (fantasy) ose fantastik; romani western dhe romani dashuror (romani i damave, romani rozë, i grave); fotoromanet dhe kinoromanet, romani mistik, historik. Emërtimet e njohura si “letërsi e verdhë”, “bulevardeske”, “konjukturale”, “ideologjike” etj, janë pjesë e orbitës së kësaj letërsie. Ndaj të gjithë këtyre zhanreve zbatohet gjithashtu termi literaturë triviale, argëtuese, eskapite, e tregut apo “e lirë“, - zhanër paraletërsi, beletristikë, më së mbrami dhe etiketimi vlerësues i vrazhdë “limonadë” - në të përkundërt me “elitaren”, “oborrtaren”, “aristokraten”, “dijetaren“; apo ndryshe letërsia e “ulët”, në të përkundërt me letërsinë e “lartë”.

            • Letërsia masive është një literaturë jo vetëm e imitimit, jetëgjasmimit, por edhe optimiste. Kjo është e lidhur si me kriticizmin social të zhanreve masive, ashtu dhe me “strukturën e mbyllur” të rrë fimit të një tipologjie të tillë, të të gjithë botës letrare dhe të imazhit të njeriut në letërsinë masive. - Fakulteti Filologjik, Univ. i Tetovës by Ledja
