Description

Book Synopsis
Presents an interdisciplinary look at the story of a generation of philosophers, poets, and intellectuals who turned away from theology, reason, common sense, and empirical observation to provide a purely metaphysical justification of marriage.

Trade Review
"Is it philosophy or political theory or literary analysis? Is it history of ideas or gender studies or cultural studies? I am convinced that this is an utterly original, brilliantly insightful, and scrupulously argued contribution to all of these areas. I cannot think of any text that treats this period with this kind of richness. A powerful, sound, and insightful work." (Richard T. Eldridge, Swarthmore College)"
