WALKER, ERIC C. Marriage, Writing, And Romanticism: Wordsworth And Austen After War.
Stanford University Press, Stanford: 2011. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Studies marriage in two sets of literary texts from the Regency decade: the novels of Jane AustenÑwho avoided marriage in her own life but seems to have written about nothing elseÑand a set of non-canonical and generally unfamiliar poems by William Wordsworth, who seems never to turn to the subject of his own marriage. With other Romantic writers who also figure in this study, Austen and Wordsworth confronted the impossibility of writing about anything other than marriage and the imperative either to celebrate or condemn it. Thanks to the latest scholarly editions of Wordsworth, Walker introduces previously undiscussed material. Walker reads conjugality as the compulsory ground of modern identity, an Enlightenment legacy we still grapple with today, and offers new perspectives on literature through the writing of Austen and Wordsworth and theories of marriage in Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and, in our time, Adam Phillips and Stanley Cavell. Eric C. Walker is Professor of English at Florida State University. "An important and stimulating study, Walker's Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism is erudite, beautifully written, and the result of a career-long investment in a variety of issues whose uncanny connectedness is perhaps paramount among the study's many virtues. It is as close to the paradigm of the scholarly book as a study is likely to get." ÑWilliam Galperin, Rutgers University
