American Realist Fictions of Marriage: From Kate Chopin, Edith
Wharton to Frances Harper, Pauline Hopkins intervenes in the field
of American literary realism by arguing that selected marriage
fiction of Kate Chopin, Frances Harper, Pauline Hopkins, Williams
Dean Howells, Emma Dunham-Kelly, and Edith Wharton interrogates the
possibility of harmonious societies based on racial, gender, and
social equality. Megda (1891), An Imperative Duty (1891), Iola
Leroy (1892), The Awakening (1899), Contending Forces (1900), and
The House of Mirth (1905) express suspicion about marriage and its
potential consequences. These six novels use marriage as a forum to
explore the problem of the "color line," sexism, and class
difference that promoted social boundaries. These novels
demonstrate how choices about marriage made by female protagonists
are metaphorical representations of social equality while
simultaneously revealing threats to that ideal vision. In a wider
context, American Realist Fictions of Marriage aims to widen the
conventional narrow focus on canonical realist writers by
highlighting intellectual exchanges that were taking place between
traditional and non-traditional writers about marriage.
