In the context of the long-standing practice of gendering nations as female, the novels discusse-Eliot's Middlemarch, Fontane's Effi Briest, and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, along with Enoa's The Goldsmith's Gold and Sienkiewicz's Quo Vadis-can be understood as depicting international crises on the scale of the nuclear family. Kuzmic argues that the hopes, anxieties, and interests of European nations in this period can be discerned in the destabilizing force of adultery. Reading the work of Enoa and Sienkiewicz, Kuzmic illuminates the relationship between the literature of dominant nations and that of the semicolonized territories that posed a threat to them. Kuzmic's study enhances our understanding of not only these novels but nineteenth-century European literature more generally.Nationalism in literatureAdultery in literatureEuropean fictionHistory and criticismLiteratureAdulteryGeorge EliotLeo TolstoyMiddlemarchPolandRussiaNationalism in literature.Adultery in literature.European fictionHistory and criticism.809.933543Kuzmic Tatiana992268MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPUkMaJRUBOOK9910213847103321Adulterous nations2272060UNINA
