Drawn in part from the private memoirs, personal correspondence, and long- forgotten journals of the British literary community from 1910 to the Second World War, here are seven "marriages à la mode"--each rising to the challenge of intimate relations in more or less creative ways: H.G. and Jane Wells; Katherine Mansfield; Vera Brittain and George Gordon Catlin; Vanessa and Clive Bell; and Vanessa's sister Virginia Woolf, herself no stranger to marital particularities, who sustained a brilliant running commentary on the most intimate details of those around her. Every chapter revolves around a crisis that occurred in each of these marriages, and how it was resolved--or not. In these portraits, Roiphe evokes "the fluctuations and shifts in attraction, the mysteries of lasting affection, the endurance and changes in love, and the role of friendship in marriage."--From publisher description. 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Authors, English|y20th century|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101063 650 0 Authors, English|y20th century|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85009858|xRelations with women. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00007593 650 0 Women authors, English|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147466|y20th century|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476|xRelations with men. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00007592 650 0 Marriage.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85081416 650 0 Man-woman relationships.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh92001504 650 7 Authors, English.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 821945 650 7 Relations with women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354410 650 7 Women authors, English.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1177253 650 7 Relations with men.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354368 650 7 Marriage.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1010443 650 7 Man-woman relationships.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1007080 650 7 Marriage.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000990 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 444911 994 C0|bRID
