"Bodice ripper" ... type of story??

Posted by Patty on July 05, 2000

I've run across the term "bodice ripper" to describe a type of novel. I'm not sure exactly what is meant, though the image presents a general impression. I think I've also heard the term used for certain types of film themes.

Can anyone tell me just what they mean? Thank you.
