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. 606 $aNationalism in literature 606 $aAdultery in literature 606 $aEuropean fiction$xHistory and criticism 610 $aLiterature 610 $aAdultery 610 $aGeorge Eliot 610 $aLeo Tolstoy 610 $aMiddlemarch 610 $aPoland 610 $aRussia 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 615 0$aAdultery in literature. 615 0$aEuropean fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.933543 700 $aKuzmic$b Tatiana$0992268 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213847103321 996 $aAdulterous nations$92272060 997 $aUNINA
