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. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFamilies in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aDomestic fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFamilies$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMarriage in literature 606 $aKinship in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFamilies in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aDomestic fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory 615 0$aMarriage in literature. 615 0$aKinship in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a823/.6093552 700 $aPerry$b Ruth$f1943-$0322492 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457953703321 996 $aNovel relations$9777061 997 $aUNINA
