Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.
Romance novels as we know them today can be said to be directly descended from the metrical romances of old, especially given their common themes and to an extent, their form. Today’s romance novels retain much of their popular aspect and their viability as an entertainment form for the masses.
