About this book

In a period marked by profound societal transformation, Edward Carpenter's "Marriage in Free Society" challenges conventional views on the institution of marriage. This philosophical treatise scrutinizes the roles of men and women, advocating for a more egalitarian understanding of partnership. Carpenter articulates the need for personal autonomy within marriage, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection over societal expectations. With a keen eye on the implications of love and freedom, he argues for a redefinition of marital bonds that transcends traditional constraints. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reflect on the evolving nature of relationships and the pursuit of genuine companionship in a rapidly changing world.
