The Marriage of Minds examines the implications of the common Victorian claim that novel reading can achieve the psychic, ethical, and affective benefits also commonly associated with sympathy in married life. Through close readings of canonical texts in relation to the histories of sympathy, marriage, and reading, The Marriage of Minds begins to fill a longstanding gap between eighteenthcentury philosophical notions of sympathy and twentiethcentury psychoanalytic concepts of identification. It examines the wide variety of ways in which novels were understood to educate or reform readers in the midnineteenth century. Finally, it demonstrates how both the form of the Victorian novel and the experience supposed to result from that form were implicated in ongoing debates about the nature, purpose, and law of marriage.
