Kelly Hager

Dickens and the Rise of Divorce (eBook, ePUB)

The Failed-Marriage Plot and the Novel Tradition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Since Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel, the history of prose fiction has privileged the courtship plot. Kelly Hager proposes an equally powerful but overlooked narrative focusing on the failed marriage. Hager's alternative history is richly contextualized in the legal history of marriage and divorce, enabling her to offer a fuller account of competing strands of the Woman Question and revisionist readings of Dickens's novels.
