Overview
Provides an interdisciplinary and comparative series of essays between social historians and historians of cultural forms such as literature and the visual arts
Focuses on the marital experience beyond the ‘matrimonial barrier’ to encompass the breadth of after marriage in the eighteenth century not only in Britain, but also in France
Demonstrates that eighteenth-century representations of after marriage are more prevalent than writers such as Thackeray – and more complex than historians such as Stone – suggested
