This book examines the complexities and societal implications surrounding the institution of marriage, particularly through the lens of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ideals. Todhunter critiques conventional marriage and explores the evolving perception of love and companionship during a transformative period in social thought. In this thought-provoking analysis, Todhunter discusses Shelley’s radical views on marriage, freedom, and love, painting the poet as a precursor to modern notions of individual rights and relationships. He articulates Shelley’s belief that traditional marriage can hinder true love and advocates for a more liberated and authentic expression of affection between individuals. Throughout the text, Todhunter highlights the discontent of women with their roles in society and marriage, emphasizing the need for reform in legal and social constructs surrounding romantic partnerships. He presents a call for greater understanding and respect for both genders in the pursuit of ideal love, intertwining philosophical debate with contemporary social issues of his time.
