This compelling romantic ideology channels girls narrowly toward heterosexuality and marriage." For similar ideas, expressed at greater length, see Shore's dissertation.]

The books fueled a desire for domestic happiness that runs over into dreams of national prosperity; and nation-building projects invested private passions with public purpose" (7) and "the lovers must imagine their ideal relationship through an alternative society. Once they project that ideal as an image that looks like a wedding portrait, their union [...] becomes the mediating principle that urges the narrative forward like a promise" (18). Excerpt.]

The title of this chapter reflects a subsidiary definition of "romance" as "picturesque falsehood": "we have in the containment of women, a male romance, a 'picturesque falsehood' constructed in male interest" (162).
