In particular, Perry traces the shift from a kinship orientation based on blood relations to a kinship axis constituted by conjugal ties as it is revealed in popular literature of the second half of the eighteenth century. Perry focuses particularly on the effect these changes had on women's position in families. She uses social history, literary analysis and anthropological kinship theory to examine texts by Samuel Richardson, Charlotte Lennox, Henry MacKenzie, Frances Burney, Jane Austen, and many others. This important study by a leading eighteenth-century scholar will be of interest to social and literary historians.English fiction18th centuryHistory and criticismFamilies in literatureWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory18th centuryDomestic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismFamiliesGreat BritainHistory18th centuryMarriage in literatureKinship in literatureWomen in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Families in literature.Women and literatureHistoryDomestic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticism.FamiliesHistoryMarriage in literature.Kinship in literature.Women in literature.823/.6093552Perry Ruth1943-322492UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910818216203321Novel relations777061UNINA
