This book examines the life-cycle of Victorian working-class
marriage through a study of the hitherto hidden marital bed. Using
coroners' inquests to gain intimate access to the working-class
home and its inhabitants, this book explores their marital,
quasi-marital, and post-marital beds to reveal the material,
domestic, and emotional experience of working-class marriage during
everyday life and at times of crisis. Drawing on the recent
approach of utilising domestic objects to explore interpersonal
relationships, the marital bed not only provides a rereading of the
experiences of the working-class wife but also brings the much
maligned or simply overlooked working-class husband into the
picture. Moreover, it also extends our understanding of the various
marriage-like arrangements existing throughout this class. Moving
through the marital life-cycle, this book provides a greater
understanding of marriages from the outset, during childbirth, at
times of strife and marital breakdown, and upon the death of a
spouse.
