Time Travel Romances

We will be talking all things time-travel romance in this 1 hour informal online reading group. 

Some examples of time-travel romances:

• Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon (books and TV series)
• One Last Stop by Casey McQuistion (book)
• Time Traveller’s Wife by Lauren Weisberger (book and film)
• My Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Devereux (book)
• About Time (film)
• Lost in Austen (TV series)
• Kate & Leopold (film)
• Transcendence by Shay Savage (book)

We'll be discussing topics like:

• What’s the appeal of the time-travel romance?
• Is the ‘time travel’ element a trope or a distinct sub-genre of romance?
• Why do we think these texts have declined in popularity?
• How are time travel romances constricted by race, gender and sexuality?
• How does the time-travel element overlap or inform the romantic elements of the book/film?

And more! No need to read anything in advance, if you've read or watched one of time-travel romances above (or even if you haven't) feel free to come along and add something to the conversation!
