This book considers the ways that family relationships (parental,marital, sibling or other) mimic, and stand in for, political ones in the EarlyModern period, and vice versa. Bringing together leading international scholarsin literary-historical fields to produce scholarship informed by theperspective of contemporary politics, the volume examines the ways in which thefamily defines itself in transformative moments of potential crisis birth anddeath, maturation, marriage moments when the family is negotiating its positionwithin and through broader cultural frameworks, and when, as a result, familypolitics become most apparent.
