Book Overview
In The Culture of Love Stephen Kern asserts that love itself merits its own history. Kern examines love over a period of profound change that bridges the years from Jane Eyre to the mid-1930s. The great 19th century novels of the Brontes, George Eliot, Victor Hugo, and Thomas Hardy and the modern classics of Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, D.H. Lawrence, and James Joyce serve as sources of insight into the contrasting ways of loving. Paintings and sculptures by Jessica Hayllar, Courbet, Gerome, and William Frith, in juxtaposition with works by Kokoschka, Picasso, Magritte, and Picabia, offer evidence of historic transformation as well.
