Description

On Marriage by Devorah Baum is an unprecedented investigation into the concept of marriage and its profound effects on us all. Drawing on a wide range of cultural material, from classical to contemporary, Baum explores the many contradictions and complexities of marriage.

The author's own experiences of matrimony are woven throughout the book, providing a candid and introspective look at the institution. Baum reveals how marriage has been used as both a cover story for power and its abuses, and as a means for subversive and utopian relational practices.
