Line 26:

# [[1960s]]-[[1970s]]: Norman becomes wildly popular, rivaling fellow author [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]] with sales of the first third of the [[Gor]] series. His rise may be attributed to the willingness of rebellious or disaffected [[United States|American]]s during this period to consider his social alternatives.

# [[1980s]]-mid [[1990s]]: Increasing [[political correctness]], especially [[feminism]], prompted [[consumer]]s and [[special interest|interest groups]] to take action against the sale of Norman’s books, including petitioning retailers. Norman’s books were removed from bookstores and libraries, and Norman accused [[publisher]]s for [[blacklisting]] him.

# Late [[1990s]]-present: Acceptance of [[BDSM]] and growth of the [[Internet]] allowed the resurgence of Norman’s ideas without the consent of normal publishing channels. [[Goreans]] assembled on the [[Internet]] and in real life while smaller publishers attempted, with limited success, to “bring back Norman.”
