Chasing the Happily Neverafter

Americans love (and hate) romance. And when things get rough — a global pandemic, the threat of nuclear war and global climate collapse — we turn to Disney and the Hallmark channel. Middlebury professor Laurie Essig reviews the ideology that sells us hope for a better future if we only find “the one.”

Laurie Essig is Professor and Director of Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies at Middlebury College, and is the author of Love, Inc.: Dating Apps, the Big White Wedding, and Chasing the Happily Neverafter.
