Description
Why do we still believe that someone who rejects us and only replies to messages after midnight could turn out to be a charming Mr. Darcy? It's simple – because of Mr. Darcy! The rude romantic hero of Pride and Prejudice, who initially insults and ignores our witty, sharp heroine, but ultimately succumbs to her charms. But literature lies to us. Rachel Feder explores various cultural milestones in this book: from the life of Lord Byron to Sally Rooney's Normal People, to the phenomenon of Taylor Swift and the series Bridgerton. She attempts to unravel why our culture is obsessed with cruel, emotionally unavailable romantic heroes (and heroines) and what we should do about it.
