Romancing the Honeymoon is the first comprehensive look at the
North American honeymoon from a multidisciplinary academic
perspective. Using theoretical and methodological approaches from
sociology, history, and cultural studies, this benchmark study
presents a compelling discussion of the cultural significance of
the honeymoon ritual. The authors present data on the origins of
the honeymoon, historical changes in cultural narratives about
honeymooning, honeymoon advertising, the symbolic meanings of
contemporary honeymoon sites (architecture, space planning, and
decorating), and the individual pre-honeymoon expectations and
post-honeymoon realities of a sample of contemporary newlyweds.
This book is about more than honeymoons, however, as historical
changes and contemporary experiences in honeymooning are related to
such issues as identity construction, gender conflict,
interpersonal risk, and rationality in late modern society. This
highly readable volume provides a unique study and demonstrates the
relevance of social theory in an approachable manner. This
multidisciplinary, multi-method application will provide students
and scholars in family studies, gender studies, family sociology,
and cultural studies with valuable insight in to this unique
custom.
