Böcker av Clare Virginia Eby

For centuries, people have been thinking and writing - and fiercely debating - about the meaning of marriage. This book offers a fresh account of marriage as it appeared in fiction, journalism, legal decisions, scholarly work, and private correspondence at the start of the twentieth century.

In this study, Clare Eby argues that the writings of Theodore Dreiser and Thorstein Veblen form a neglected chapter in the history of US cultural criticism, and how they anticipated many topics that occupy cultural studies today.
