This is the first book specifically devoted to exploring one of the
longest-running controversies in nineteenth-century Britain - the
sixty-five-year campaign to legalise marriage between a man and his
deceased wife's sister. The issue captured the political, religious
and literary imagination of the United Kingdom. It provoked huge
parliamentary and religious debate and aroused national,
ecclesiastical and sexual passions. The campaign to legalise such
unions, and the widespread opposition it provoked, spoke to issues
not just of incest, sex and the family, but also to national
identity and political and religious governance.
