Widely considered the most complex of human emotions, romantic love both shapes and reflects core societal values, its expression offering a window into the cultural zeitgeist. In popular culture, romantic love has long been a mainstay of film, television and music.

Tracing the history of love in American culture, this book offers insight into both the national character and emotional nature.
