Examines literary and historical adoptions and constructions of childhood in Romantic-era England to reveal their influence on later Western adoption systems.

Eric C. Walker is Professor of English at Florida State University.

Walker reads conjugality as the compulsory ground of modern identity, an Enlightenment legacy we still grapple with today, and offers new perspectives on Austen, Wordsworth and other Romantics of the Regency period through theories of marriage in Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and, in our time, Adam Phillips and Stanley Cavell.
