Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism: Wordsworth and Austen After War

By Eric C. Walker

Book Overview

Walker reads conjugality as the compulsory ground of modern identity, an Enlightenment legacy we still grapple with today, and offers new perspectives on Austen, Wordsworth and other Romantics of the Regency period through theories of marriage in Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and, in our time, Adam Phillips and Stanley Cavell.
