Families of the Heart

Surrogate Relations in the Eighteenth-Century British Novel

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Families of the Heart introduces surrogate families as a new literary device for analyzing a set of novels by Defoe, Richardson, Haywood, and Burney. This radical convention with its feminist and egalitarian potential, Campbell argues, allowed female protagonists to navigate the social world before and beyond marriage across the long eighteenth century.
