The Culture Of Love : Victorians To Moderns

  • The Culture Of Love : Victorians To Moderns

  • Attribution

    Stephen Kern

  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 1992

  • Description

    The Culture of Love interprets the sweeping change in loving that spanned a period when scientific discoveries reduced the terrors and dangers of sex, when new laws gave married women control over their earnings and their bodies, when bold novelists and artists shook off the prudishness and hypocrisy that so paralyzed the Victorians. The book’s conceptual foundation comes from Heidegger’s existential philosophy, in particular his authentic-inauthentic distinction, which Kern adapts to make his overall interpretation and concluding affirmation of the value of authenticity: “The moderns may have lost some of the Victorians’ delicacy and poignancy, perhaps even some of their heroism, but in exchange became more reflective of what it means to be a human being in love and hence better able to make that loving more their very own.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
