Summary

A popular subject in sociology and cultural studies, divorce has until recently been overlooked by literary critics. Spanning nearly a century during which the divorce rate skyrocketed, this volume traces the treatment of divorce in the American novel, illustrating how divorce has reflected conflicting ideologies and notions of American identity. Focusing primarily on work by William Dean Howells, Edith Wharton, Mary McCarthy, and John Updike,Love American Styleoffers insights regarding both the treatment of divorce in the American novel as well as its predominance in American culture.
