This book describes the transformation of the English family between 1748 and 818. Covering such topics as the invention of sexual disgust, incest, and the responsibility of men for their consanguineal kin, Perry explains the plots and formulas of eighteenth-century fiction as both cause and effect of reconfigured social realities.
