  • Cultural symbols, myth and identity in four 20th-century english popular romance fiction novels set in Tenerife María Jesús Vera-Cazorla Historia Tenerife Popular romance intercultural contact Canarian cultural symbols This paper examines the vision presented of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) in four novels, taken from a wider corpus of popular romance novels published by well-known Mills & Boon between 1958 and 1994. Our aim is to analyse whether the cultural information mentioned in the novels is real or a figment of the authors’ imagination, and discuss what aspects of the Canarian culture attracted the authors’ attention the most. After a brief review of the genre of popular romance fiction, we describe the symbolic and cultural landscape of Tenerife in these popular romance novels. For the analysis of the cross-cultural encounters between the British protagonist and the Canarian characters, we use Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, a framework for cross-cultural communication which describes the effects of a society’s culture on the values of its members, and how these values are related to their actions. 2018 artículo científico 0570-4065 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=274454797003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2744/274454797003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2744/274454797003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2744/274454797003/274454797003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2744/274454797003/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2744 Anuario de Estudios Atlánticos application/pdf Cabildo de Gran Canaria Anuario de Estudios Atlánticos (España) Num.64
