In Adulterous Nations, Tatiana Kuzmic enlarges our perspective on the nineteenthcentury novel of adultery, showing how it often served as a metaphor for relationships between the imperialistic and the colonized. In the context of the longstanding practice of gendering nations as female, the novels under discussion hereGeorge Eliots Middlemarch, Theodor Fontanes Effi Briest, and Leo Tolstoys Anna Karenina, along with August enoas The Goldsmiths Gold and Henryk Sienkiewiczs Quo Vadiscan be understood as depicting international crises on the scale of the nuclear family. In each example, an outsider figure is responsible for the disruption experienced by the family. Kuzmic deftly argues that the hopes, anxieties, and interests of European nations during this period can be discerned in the destabilizing force of adultery. Reading the work of enoa and Sienkiewicz, from Croatia and Poland, respectively, Kuzmic illuminates the relationship between the literature of dominant nations and that of the semicolonized territories that posed a threat to them. Ultimately, Kuzmics study enhances our understanding of not only these five novels but nineteenthcentury European literature more generally.
