- 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)
- La literatura popular, tantas veces rendida ante la crítica culta, abre necesariamente un espacio a la considerada literatura pulp. El término, antiguo como él solo, cobra vigor con la película de Tarantino: su culto a lo presuntamente cutre acaba convertido en reivindicación histórica de los olvidados, a veces no tan buenos, a veces magníficos.

- Šund - djelo (tekst, film, glazba, slika) bez umjetničkih i moralnih vrijednosti
Izvor: Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika Own research - by eleonora_r
- Example sentence(s)
- Iza pseudonima najčešće se skrivaju pisci koji se boje da bi šund literatura ili trivijalni žanrovi mogli “potrošiti” njihovo autorsko ime. - Moderna vremena info by eleonora_r
- U svom prijedlogu Gavran je šundom proglasio cijele žanrove i to »ljubiće, krimiće, porno-časopise i slično«. Tako bi porez na šund bio prilijepljen i krimićima koji spadaju gotovo u klasike svjetske književnosti, a možda bi se pod »i slično« ugurala i znanstvenofantastična književnost, detektivski i avanturistički romani. Recimo, Goranu Tribusonu bi neka njegova djela konkurirala za društveno priznate nagrade, kao što je nedavno dobio nagradu Fonda Miroslav Krleža, dok bi mu dogodovštine inspektora Banića priskrbile porez na šund - monitor.hr by eleonora_r
- ŠTO JE ŠUND, A ŠTO VRIJEDNA KNJIGA: Neizbježno je pitanje kojim bi se općim kriterijima određivalo što jest šund, a što nije, te tko bi određivao koji će naslovi izazvati sreću ili jad njihovim autorima i izdavačima?

- letërsi masive (romane limonadë)
- 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”. Gazeta Start - Agron Tufa - by Ledja
- Example sentence(s)
- 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

daarvan afgeleid: pulpromans Wiki - by Roel Verschueren
- Example sentence(s)
- Pulpromans vormen een literair genre dat niet zozeer uitblinkt door een sterk plot of personage, maar vanwege de sociale functie die zij vervullen. Een pulproman is doorgaans vrij omvangrijk en kent een snelle aaneenschakeling van acties, intriges of avontuur en treft men voornamelijk aan in kiosken van treinstations en luchthavens, hoewel ze in het Nederlands taalgebied ook in de reguliere boekhandel te verkrijgen zijn. - Wiki by Roel Verschueren
- Een pulproman moet noodzakelijkerwijs oppervlakkig, innemend en toegankelijk zijn zonder dat zij noodzakelijkerwijs over een bijzonder diepgaande of filosofische inhoud beschikt, of althans voor zover deze inhoud noodzakelijk is voor het uiteindelijke genot van het boek. - Wiki by Roel Verschueren

- U nás sa nálepka populárna literatúra spája s označením braková literatúra, čo je nepochopením princípu veci. - litcentrum.sk by Linda Vakermanova
- Mladý McCartney písal brakovú literatúru
28. septembra 2009 11:15
Nedávno objavená esej mladého Paula McCartneyho spred vyše 50 rokov odhalila túžbu budúceho slávneho člena skupiny Beatles stať sa autorom lacných románov. Paul McCartney svoju úvahu napísal v roku 1953 a odoslal ju do oblastnej literárnej súťaže. - Atlas.sk by Linda Vakermanova
- Znamená to, že miera naznačeného, nedopovedaného, vnútorného rozhoduje o tom, či ide o brakovú, lacnú literatúru alebo o umenie?
Aj to rozdeľuje literatúru na čisto zábavnú, populárnu a umeleckú. Populárna literatúra spraví takmer všetko za čitateľa, je v nej pramálo toho, čo by mohlo zostať ako tvorivé čitateľské pole. - Tasr.sk by Linda Vakermanova
