Academic approach to Romance Novels

If you frequent romance novel oriented blogs with any regularity, chances are you've recently seen links to this site. If not, let me recommend, Teach Me Tonight, which has been serving up intelligent, academic posts about romance novels for the last month or so. The authors include a professor running a 200 level course (and shares her syllabus with us) and the author of "A Natural History of the Romance Novel." Good stuff, footnotes all around and lots to think about.
