Description based on print version record.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [233]-248) and index.
Intergenerational marriages in literature and the nineteenth-centurycontext -- Old enough to be her father : incest narratives in Dickens -- Visualizing power: age, embodiment, and aesthetics -- The horror ofaAging: the January-May marriage as gothic nightmare -- Money matters: valuing youth/valuing age -- January-May love and the sacrificial ideal -- Conclusion: The January-May marriage inother contexts.
Marriage between older husbands and younger wives was common in nineteenth-century literature, and as Godfrey skillfully argues, provides auseful window into the dynamics of the patriarchic paradigm. Examiningcanonical and non-canonical texts from Sense and Sensibility to Dracula, this study finds that literary January-May marriages respond to distinctively nineteenth-century anxieties regarding gender roles by deploying a surprising range of modes parody, incest, aesthetics, horror, economics, and love. The January-May Marriage in Nineteenth-Century British Literature ultimately arguesthat age, like race, sexuality and classis an essential component of gendered identities.
