Divorce is a conspicuous character trait of modernity, commonly
portrayed in texts and on screen, with its moral and social
rationalisation firmly rooted in Enlightenment and Romantic
thought. The aim of this volume is to bring into focus this
contemporary cultural fascination by assembling the variety of
academic responses it has started to create. Bringing together the
reflections of scholars from the UK and North America who have
worked in this domain, this study offers for the first time a
genuinely wide-ranging account of the depiction of divorce across
the northern hemisphere in a number of media (fiction, journalism,
film and television). It reaches historically from the intellectual
and legal aftermath of the Enlightenment right up to the present
day. As such, the collection shows both the roots of this
apparently contemporary phenomenon in nineteenth-century literary
practice and the very particular ways in which divorce
characterises the different narrative media of modernity.
