Love & Society
Classic novels of love and society.
Courtship, consequence and the long view. The marriage plot was never only about marriage: it was the sharpest instrument the nineteenth century had for examining money, class and the narrow room a woman was given to decide her own life. Each Aeneas Press edition presents the complete work with spelling and punctuation in present-day American usage, illustrated with credited full-page plates.
