Definition from
Robert Harris - VirtualSalt:
Novels written for the mass market, intended to be "a good read,"--often exciting, titillating, thrilling. Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality. The earliest ones were the dime novels of the nineteenth century, printed on newsprint (hence "pulp" fiction) and sold for ten cents. Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction.
Example sentences:
At five to twenty-five cents an issue, pulp fiction was a literature accessible to Americans at every income level—often sold at newsstands and drugstores. Until the mid-1950s, pulp fiction was the literature of choice for the reading public, before it was supplanted by comic books and paperbacks. (The Library of Congress-American Memory)
The pulp fiction era provided a breeding ground for creative talent which would influence all forms of entertainment for decades to come. The hardboiled detective and science fiction genres were created by the freedom that the pulp fiction magazines provided. (Vintage New Media, inc.)
Pulp fiction was a great avenue to escape the mundane and escape into a world of gangsters and good guys, cowboys and cattlemen, spaceships and star travelers. For a thin dime one could read from the pens of some of the best writers of the era: the era of pulp fiction. (Robert Wheadon)

Šund - djelo (tekst, film, glazba, slika) bez umjetničkih i moralnih vrijednosti<br /><br />Izvor: Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika
Example sentences:
Iza pseudonima najčešće se skrivaju pisci koji se boje da bi šund literatura ili trivijalni žanrovi mogli “potrošiti” njihovo autorsko ime. (Moderna vremena info)
U svom prijedlogu Gavran je šundom proglasio cijele žanrove i to »ljubiće, krimiće, porno-časopise i slično«. Tako bi porez na šund bio prilijepljen i krimićima koji spadaju gotovo u klasike svjetske književnosti, a možda bi se pod »i slično« ugurala i znanstvenofantastična književnost, detektivski i avanturistički romani. Recimo, Goranu Tribusonu bi neka njegova djela konkurirala za društveno priznate nagrade, kao što je nedavno dobio nagradu Fonda Miroslav Krleža, dok bi mu dogodovštine inspektora Banića priskrbile porez na šund (monitor.hr)
ŠTO JE ŠUND, A ŠTO VRIJEDNA KNJIGA: Neizbježno je pitanje kojim bi se općim kriterijima određivalo što jest šund, a što nije, te tko bi određivao koji će naslovi izazvati sreću ili jad njihovim autorima i izdavačima? (monitor.hr)

popularna zabavna literatura
Definition from
own experience or research:
Laka literatura zabavnog karaktera, za razliku od klasika koji su edukativnog karaktera. Upitne umjetničke vrijednosti jer od čitatelja/gledatelja ne zahtijeva puno mentalne angažiranosti. Budući da ne zahtijeva puno napora ni znanja, već samo opušta i zabavlja, veoma brzo postaje popularna među širim narodnim masama. Primjeri takvih djela su Western romani/filmovi, razne zabavne emisije, sapunice i djela koja su zasnovana na konceptu super heroja.
Example sentences:
"Nemam ništa protiv ideje o umjetnosti koja je zanimljiva velikom broju ljudi. Nekada to podrazumijeva zaključak da su takva djela jednostavnija ili vulgarnija, ali to uopće ne mora biti slučaj. Književnost je puna klasika koji su u svoje vrijeme bili viđeni kao popularna zabavna literatura, poput Dickensa i Jane Austen. Ako djelo zabavlja velik broj ljudi, tim bolje." (SEEbiz)
