Bringing together feminist theory, novel criticism, and religious studies, Conway focuses on religious tolerance expressed in marriage plots. The time period is from Sir Charles Grandison to Maria Edgeworth. The interfaith marriage is still an issue today. The novels of the time period studied imagine how stress between religious tolerance was at odds with religious roles for men and women in marriage. The book closes with an analysis of Mansfield Park as an insistence on religious conformity in marriage.  Johns Hopkins University Press. 2023. Paper. NEW. $32.00
