Courtship, marriage and marriage breakdown
This book explores the history of marriage and marriage-like relationships across five continents from the seventeenth century to the present day. Scholars examine how the methodologies from the new history of emotions contribute to our understanding of marriage, seeking to uncover not only personal feeling but also the political and social implications of emotion. They highlight how marriage as an institution has been shaped not just by law and society but also by individual and community choices, desires and emotional values.
