Probably romance books for 8 years old.

Jk aside Le Capitaine Fracasse is pretty based in that vein.
Madame de Rênal in The Red and the Black also fit the bill, if you allow married women to be innocent.

Germinal and Au Bonheur des Dames, both were very good
Although now that I think about it the girl in Germinal may not have been a virgin, but she was archetypally pure, devoted to her poor family, etc
Denise Baudu from Au Bonheur was explicitly stated many times to be a virgin who didn't understand love or notice men's advances though

Isn't it funny that "pagan" derives from the latin word for "country" or "country folk"? Just goes to show that Christians are urbanist scum much like their descendants (liberals, sjws, etc.)

>Christians are urbanist scum much like their descendants (liberals, sjws, etc.)
Terrible bait but I'll bite.
Liberals are predominately non-Christian and the majority of SJWs are either neopagans, atheists, or whatever the most hip non-Christian religion is at a given time.
The highest populations of Christians are seen in rural areas, not urban ones.
Romans were retarded and usurped the aesthetics and very selective narrative elements of Christianity for their larp campaigns across Europe but if you compare their behavior with the philosophy of Jesus it becomes obvious that they didn't give a shit about Christianity and just wanted an excuse to expand and murder.
Blame the Meds, not the Christians.

>>13515970 is wrong, or rather conflating real-life proper "romance" and fictional romance.

As Flaubert put it in a 04/24/1852 letter to Louise Colet, "And first, to speak clearly, does he fuck her, or does he not? These [the characters of romantic poetry] are not human beings but mannequins. - Fancy things, those love stories in which the main event is shrouded in so much mystery that we cannot know what to think of it ! As they systemically cast a veil on the act of sex, as they do on drinking, eating, pissing, etc. ! This choice annoys me. There's a fine fellow living his life continually with a woman he loves and who loves him back, yet not a speck of lust ! Not one impure cloud to blacken this blueish lake ! O the hypocrisy ! How more beauteous it would have been, had he told the true story ! But truth requires hairier males than Mr de Lamartine. - It is indeed easier to depict an angel than an actual woman. The wings hide the hunch. […] But no, we must write conventional falsehoods. Why must women read us ! O lies ! O stupid, stupid lies !"

>>13516342
He was, but he was a fat bitter cunt with a point. Romance as conveyed in literature, though it is a vital component of any actual romantical relationship, is still a minor one when compared to both the dull routine and sexual component involved. Which is fine - not demanding every romance comport pornographic elements lest it be autodafe'd for deception. Just saying "innocent romance", in the context of literature, is not as inherently contradictory as >>13515970 claims it to be - the subtle and poetic charm of romance makes less room than would satisfy a cold realist for sex.
