This book explores the history of marriage and marriage-like
relationships across five continents from the seventeenth century
to the present day. Across fourteen chapters, leading marriage
scholars examine how the methodologies from the new history of
emotions contribute to our understanding of marriage, seeking to
uncover not only personal feeling but also the political and social
implications of emotion. They highlight how marriage as an
institution has been shaped not just by law and society but also by
individual and community choices, desires and emotional values.
Importantly, they also emphasize how the history of non-traditional
and same-sex relationships and their emotions have long played an
important role in determining the nature of marriage as an
institution and emotional union. In doing so, this collection
allows us to rethink both the past and present of marriage,
destabilizing a story of a stable institution and opening it up as
a site of contest, debate and feeling.
