Background and publication [edit]

The L Shades trilogy was developed from a Twilight fan fiction series originally titled Master of the Universe and published by James episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueen'south Icedragon". The slice featured characters named after Twilight author Stephenie Meyer'south characters in Twilight, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. After comments concerning the sexual nature of the fabric, James removed the story and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. Later she rewrote Master of the Universe as an original slice, with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and removed it from her website earlier publication.[3] Meyer commented on the series, proverb "that'due south really not my genre, non my thing... Good on her—she'southward doing well. That's great!"[4]

This reworked and extended version of Principal of the Universe was split up into iii parts. The start, titled Fifty Shades of Gray, was released every bit an e-book and a print on demand paperback in May 2011 by The Writers' Coffee Store, a virtual publisher based in Australia.[5] [6] The 2nd book, 50 Shades Darker, was released in September 2011; and the third, Fifty Shades Freed, followed in January 2012. The Writers' Coffee Shop had a restricted marketing budget and relied largely on book blogs for early publicity, but sales of the novel were boosted by discussion-of-mouth recommendation. The volume's erotic nature and perceived demographic of its fan base of operations every bit being equanimous largely of married women over thirty led to the volume being dubbed "Mommy Porn" by some news agencies.[vii] [8] The volume has besides reportedly been popular among teenage girls and college women.[8] [9] [10] By the release of the final volume in January 2012, news networks in the The states had begun to study on the L Shades trilogy as an example of viral marketing and of the rise in popularity of female erotica, attributing its success to the discreet nature of e-reading devices.[eleven] Due to the heightened involvement in the series, the license to the Fifty Shades trilogy was picked upwards by Vintage Books for re-release in a new and revised edition in Apr 2012.[12] [13] The attention that the series has garnered has also helped to spark a renewed involvement in erotic literature. Many other erotic works quickly became all-time-sellers post-obit Fifty Shades ' success, while other pop works, such as Anne Rice's The Sleeping Beauty trilogy, have been reissued (this time without pseudonyms) to meet the higher demand.[xiv]

On 1 August 2012, Amazon U.k. announced that information technology had sold more copies of Fifty Shades of Gray than it had whatsoever private book in the Harry Potter series, though worldwide the Harry Potter series sold more than 450 million copies compared with Fifty Shades of Grey'south sales of 60 million copies.[15]

Reception [edit]

L Shades of Grey has topped all-time-seller lists effectually the globe, including those of the United Kingdom and the Usa.[xvi] [17] The series had sold over 125 1000000 copies worldwide by June 2015,[18] while past October 2017 it had sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.[19] The series has been translated into 52 languages,[20] and set a record in the Great britain as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.[21]

Critical response [edit]

It has received mixed to negative reviews, as almost critics noted the poor literary qualities of the work. Salman Rushdie said about the book: "I've never read anything so badly written that got published. It fabricated Twilight wait similar State of war and Peace."[22] Maureen Dowd described the book in The New York Times as being written "similar a BrontĂ« devoid of talent," and said it was "tedious and poorly written."[23] Jesse Kornbluth of The Huffington Post said: "Every bit a reading experience, Fifty Shades ... is a distressing joke, puny of plot".[24]

Princeton professor April Alliston wrote, "Though no literary masterpiece, Fifty Shades is more parasitic fan fiction based on the recent Twilight vampire series."[25] Amusement Weekly writer Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the book a "B+" rating and praised it for existence "in a class by itself."[26] British author Jenny Colgan in The Guardian wrote "It is jolly, eminently readable and as sweet and condom equally BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism) erotica can be without contravening the trade descriptions act" and also praised the book for existence "more enjoyable" than other "literary erotic books".[27] The Daily Telegraph noted that the book was "the definition of a page-turner", noting that the book was both "troubling and intriguing".[28] A reviewer for the Ledger-Enquirer described the book as guilty fun and escapism, and that information technology "also touches on i aspect of female person existence [female submission]. And acknowledging that fact – perhaps even appreciating information technology – shouldn't be a cause for guilt."[29] The New Zealand Herald stated that the book "volition win no prizes for its prose" and that "there are some exceedingly awful descriptions," although it was besides an easy read; "(If you simply) can suspend your atheism and your desire to – if you'll pardon the expression – slap the heroine for having and so lilliputian self respect, you might enjoy it."[30] The Columbus Dispatch stated that, "Despite the clunky prose, James does cause one to turn the folio."[31] Metro News Canada wrote that "suffering through 500 pages of this heroine'due south inner dialogue was torturous, and not in the intended, sexy kind of mode".[32] Jessica Reaves, of the Chicago Tribune, wrote that the "book'due south source material isn't great literature", noting that the novel is "sprinkled liberally and repeatedly with asinine phrases", and described it equally "depressing".[33]

The book garnered some accolades. In December 2012, it won both "Popular Fiction" and "Book of the Year" categories in the UK National Book Awards.[34] [35] In that same month, Publishers Weekly named Eastward. Fifty. James the 'Publishing Person of the Year', a conclusion whose criticism in the LA Times and the New York Daily News was referred to past and summarised in The Christian Scientific discipline Monitor.[36] Before, in April 2012, when E. Fifty. James was listed as one of Fourth dimension magazine's "100 Almost Influential People in the World",[37] Richard Lawson of The Atlantic Wire criticised her inclusion due to the trilogy's fan fiction beginnings.[38]

Controversy [edit]

Fifty Shades of Grey has attracted criticism due to its depictions of BDSM, with some BDSM participants stating that the book confuses the practice with abuse, and presents it as a pathology to be overcome, as well equally showing incorrect and possibly unsafe BDSM techniques.[39] [forty]

Coinciding with the release of the book and its surprising popularity, injuries related to BDSM and sex toy use spiked dramatically. In the year after the novel's publishing in 2012, injuries requiring Emergency Room visits increased by over 50% from 2010 (the year before the volume was published). This is speculated to be due to people unfamiliar with both the proper use of these toys and the safe practice of bondage and other "kinky" sexual fetishes in attempting to recreate what they had read.[41]

At that place has as well been criticism against the fact that BDSM is a part of the volume. Archbishop Dennis Schnurr of Cincinnati said in an early February 2015 letter, "The story line is presented equally a romance; however, the underlying theme is that bondage, authority, and sadomasochism are normal and pleasurable."[42] The feminist anti-pornography organization End Porn Culture called for a cold-shoulder of the movie based on the book considering of its sex scenes involving bondage and violence.[43] By contrast, Timothy Laurie and Jessica Kean argue that "film fleshes out an otherwise legalistic concept similar 'consent' into a living, breathing, and at times, uncomfortable interpersonal experience," and "dramatises the dangers of unequal negotiation and the practical complication of identifying one's limits and having them respected."[44]

Several critics and scientists take expressed concern that the nature of the main couple's relationship is not BDSM at all, but rather is characteristic of an abusive human relationship. In 2013, social scientist Professor Amy E. Bonomi published a study wherein multiple professionals read and assessed the books for characteristics of intimate partner violence, or IPV, using the CDC's standards for emotional corruption and sexual violence. The study found that nearly every interaction between Ana and Christian was emotionally abusive in nature, including stalking, intimidation, and isolation. The report group besides observed pervasive sexual violence within the CDC's definition, including Christian's use of booze to circumvent Ana'south ability to consent, and that Ana exhibits classic signs of an abused adult female, including abiding perceived threat, stressful managing, and altered identity.[45] [46]

A 2d study in 2014 was conducted to examine the health of women who had read the series, compared with a control grouping that had never read any part of the novels. The results showed a correlation between having read at least the starting time book and exhibiting signs of an eating disorder, having romantic partners that were emotionally abusive and/or engaged in stalking behavior, engaging in binge drinking in the last month, and having 5 or more than sexual partners before age 24. The authors could not conclude whether women already experiencing these "problems" were drawn to the series, or if the serial influenced these behaviours to occur after reading by creating underlying context.[47] The study'due south lead researcher contends that the books romanticise unsafe behaviour and "perpetuate dangerous abuse standards."[48] The study was limited in that only women upward to age 24 were studied, and no distinction was made amidst the reader sample between women who enjoyed the series and those that had a stiff negative opinion of information technology, having only read it out of curiosity due to the media hype or other obligation.[49]

At the beginning of the media hype, Dr. Drew and sexologist Logan Levkoff discussed on The Today Show [fifty] whether the book perpetuated violence confronting women; Levkoff said that while that is an important bailiwick, this trilogy had nothing to do with it – this was a book about a consensual relationship. Dr. Drew commented that the book was "horribly written" in improver to being "disturbing" but stated that "if the volume enhances women'southward real-life sexual practice lives and intimacy, so be information technology."[51]

Censorship [edit]

Fifty Shades of Grey has often been challenged, banned, and removed in the United States. The book landed on the American Library Association's Superlative 10 List of Banned and Challenged books in 2012 (4), 2013 (4), and 2015 (2) because it is sexually explicit and unsuited for the age group; has nudity and offensive language; and for religious viewpoints.[52] Challengers besides stated the book was "poorly written," and they were concerned "a group of teenagers will want to try [BDSM]."[52] Ultimately, the volume became the eighth-nearly banned book between 2010 and 2019.[53]

In March 2012, branches of the public library in Brevard Canton, Florida, removed copies of Fifty Shades of Grayness from their shelves, with an official statement that it did not meet the option criteria for the library and that reviews for the book had been poor. A representative for the library stated that it was due to the volume's sexual content and that other libraries had declined to purchase copies for their branches.[54] Deborah Caldwell-Stone of the American Library Association commented that "If the only reason you don't select a book is that y'all disapprove of its content, but there is demand for it, there's a question of whether yous're being fair. In a public library at that place is unremarkably very picayune that would prevent a book from being on the shelf if there is a demand for the data."[54] Brevard County public libraries later made their copies available to their patrons due to public demand.[55]

In Macaé, Brazil, Estimate Raphael Queiroz Campos ruled in January 2013 that bookstores throughout the city must either remove the series entirely from their shelves or ensure that the books are wrapped and placed out of the achieve of minors.[56] The judge stated that he was prompted to make such an society afterward seeing children reading them,[57] basing his decision on a law stating that "magazines and publications whose content is improper or inadequate for children and adolescents tin simply exist sold if sealed and with warnings regarding their content".[58]
