Description for Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism: Wordsworth and Austen After War
Paperback. Walker reads conjugality as the compulsory ground of modern identity, an Enlightenment legacy we still grapple with today, and offers new perspectives on Austen, Wordsworth and other Romantics of the Regency period through theories of marriage in Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and, in our time, Adam Phillips and Stanley Cavell.

Reviews for Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism: Wordsworth and Austen After War
"Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism is provocative and intelligent—and stylish. It makes a substantial contribution to Austen and Wordsworth criticism and (with Cavell's help) turns 'marriage' into an unexpectedly fascinating philosophical problem, thereby opening a new angle on a significant portion of Romantic and post-Romantic literature."
