"After Marriage in the Long Eighteenth Century" is an interdisciplinary academic book that explores the complex interactions between the representation of marriage in the literature and art of the 18th century, societal experiences, and legal frameworks. The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive view of marriage that goes beyond traditional notions, addressing topics such as abuse, parenthood, incest, infidelity, and the period after marriage, including annulment, widowhood, and divorce. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects, from the legal and social aspects of marriage to its depiction in contemporary periodicals and art. Additionally, parallels are drawn to French literature and diaries, as well as the representation of domestic violence in Gothic novels and the documentation of same-sex partnerships. This book is aimed at students and scholars engaged in the long Enlightenment, gender studies, women's literature, publishing history, and art and legal history.
