Primitive Marriage

Victorian Anthropology, the Novel, and Sexual Modernity

Beschreibung

What happens when another genre of writing lays claim to the novel's traditional subject of marriage? This book shows how anthropology gave late-Victorian novelists and social scientists ways of rethinking heterosexual romance by referring to a new kind of history of marriage systems, sexual behavior, and reproductive practices.
