Romance and popular ethos. In studying the life and work of Denise Roux, an obscure writer of popular romances, we tried to discover the relationship between a trajectory, a habitus and a field of literary possibilities ; to this end we mobilized principles of analysis more often used for legitimate producers and productions. From this point of view, Denise Roux's access to this disqualified area of the field of cultural production appears to be the product of an encounter between a (popular) ethos and the values found in this particular market, between her dispositions and the positions to be occupied. But first we needed to clarify the conditions of possibility for « taking the pen » that characterize agents from dominated classes disposing of few educational and cultural resources, and to demonstrate the existence of (relatively) diversified thematic and stylistic possibilities within a space normally regarded as uniform. In this space, Denise Roux published some one hundred poems and short stories. Some show a « humanitarian bent», which facilitated her access to specific forms of literary recognition and social circles. Her life as she tells it is inseparable from her working-class background, daughter and wife of working-class men, and from the internalization of, in part literary, models for representing this experience
