Das literarische Hochzeitsgedicht zur Feier des Brautpaares (Epithalamium) war in der Spätantike eine beliebte Literaturgattung, die wichtige gesellschaftliche Funktionen erfüllte. Sie diente der Pflege sozialer Beziehungen, konnte aber auch für die Durchsetzung eigener Interessen oder für politische und religiöse Propaganda instrumentalisiert werden. Namhafte Autoren der Spätantike wie Claudian und Sidonius Apollinaris gehören zu den Verfassern. In einer Verbindung von historischen und altphilologischen Ansätzen wird die Gattung des lateinischen Hochzeitsgedichtes hier erstmals seit fast einem Jahrhundert umfassend untersucht. Die Entwicklung des Epithalamiums von den Anfängen bis in die Kaiserzeit wird dabei ausführlich berücksichtigt. Durch eine genaue Lektüre der Gedichte unter Einbeziehung der neueren Forschungsliteratur wird eine Neubewertung der Gattung möglich: Spätantike Epithalamiendichter waren keine "Kopisten", sondern gestalten ihre Werke durchaus innovativ. Ihre Gedichte stehen im Spannungsfeld von antiker Tradition und einer christlichen Neubewertung von Ehe, Sexualität und den Konventionen der klassischen Literatur. Dieser Band trägt damit zu einer differenzierten Sicht der Spätantike bei und erschließt ein bisher wenig erforschtes Gebiet der lateinischen Literatur.

Why did marriage become central to the English novel in the eighteenth century? As clandestine weddings and the unruly culture that surrounded them began to threaten power and property, questions about where and how to marry became urgent matters of public debate. In 1753, in an unprecedented and controversial use of state power, Lord Chancellor Hardwicke mandated Anglican church weddings as marriage's only legal form. Resistance to his Marriage Act would fuel a new kind of realist marriage plot in England and help to produce political radicalism as we know it. Focussing on how major authors from Samuel Richardson to Jane Austen made church weddings a lynchpin of their fiction, The Origins of the English Marriage Plot offers a truly innovative account of the rise of the novel by telling the story of the English marriage plot's engagement with the most compelling political and social questions of its time.

The link between weddings and death-as found in dramas ranging from Romeo and Juliet to Lorca's Blood Wedding-plays a central role in the action of many Greek tragedies. Female characters such as Kassandra, Antigone, and Helen enact and refer to significant parts of wedding and funeral rites, but often in a twisted fashion. Over time the pressure of dramatic events causes the distinctions between weddings and funerals to disappear. In this book, Rush Rehm considers how and why the conflation of the two ceremonies comes to theatrical life in the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides. By focusing on the dramatization of important rituals conducted by women in ancient Athenian society, Rehm offers a new perspective on Greek tragedy and the challenges it posed for its audience.The conflation of weddings and funerals, the author argues, unleashes a kind of dramatic alchemy whereby female characters become the bearers of new possibilities. Such as formulation enables the tragedians to explore the limitations of traditional thinking and acting in fifth-century Athens. Rehm finds that when tragic weddings and funerals become confused and perverted, the aftershocks disturb the political and ideological givens of Athenian society, challenging the audience to consider new, and often radically different, directions for their city.Rush Rehm is Assistant Professor of Drama and Classics at Standford University and a free-lance theater director. He is the author of Greek Tragic Theatre (Routledge) and Aeschylus' Oresteia: A Theatre Vision (Hawthorn).Originally published in 1994.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

For nineteenth-century Eastern European Jews, modernization entailed the abandonment of arranged marriage in favor of the "love match." Romantic novels taught Jewish readers the rules of romance and the choreography of courtship. But because these new conceptions of romance were rooted in the Christian and chivalric traditions, the Jewish embrace of "the love religion" was always partial. In The Marriage Plot, Naomi Seidman considers the evolution of Jewish love and marriage though the literature that provided Jews with a sentimental education, highlighting a persistent ambivalence in the Jewish adoption of European romantic ideologies. Nineteenth-century Hebrew and Yiddish literature tempered romantic love with the claims of family and community, and treated the rules of gender complementarity as comedic fodder. Twentieth-century Jewish writers turned back to tradition, finding pleasures in matchmaking, intergenerational ties, and sexual segregation. In the modern Jewish voices of Sigmund Freud, Erica Jong, Philip Roth, and Tony Kushner, the Jewish heretical challenge to the European romantic sublime has become the central sexual ideology of our time.
