Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. University of Georgia Press, 1993. First edition. First printing. New in dust jacket (still in shrink wrap! ). A study shows how the evolution of poetic discourse during the period reinforced the companionate ideal, a new marriage ideal that emphasized a couple's compatibility in age, temperament, and background, and celebrated the husband and wife as affectionate friends, lovers, and parents. From 1650 to 1800 in England, notions about marriage underwent significant change. The new model that arose--the companionate ideal--emphasized a couple's compatibility in age, temperament, and background and celebrated the husband and wife as affectionate friends, lovers, and parents. The companionate ideal became a central feature in what some historians see as the emergence of the nuclear family and the rise of domesticity. Hardbound, 375 pages. Smoke-free. New, never opened. Shipped in well-padded box. 0.0.
