Hopes for Better Spouses

History & Biography

“Hopes for Better Spouses makes for fascinating reading at a time when half of all marriages end in divorce. With deep erudition Roeber recounts the struggle of pietists in vastly different societies -- early modern Germany, British North America, and South India -- to find lasting solutions for the bond between husband and wife, and he sketches the consequence of these attempts for modern conceptions of marriage.”
