Challenging conventional understandings of the marriage plot in Victorian fiction, Romance's Rival re-reads classic novels by Jane Austen, the Brontes, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, and others to shed new light on the consistent tension between erotic desire and familiar security in the love matches that occur throughout the period's fiction.
