Description

This scholarly examination explores the marriages between British peers and American women during a transformative period in transatlantic society. Set against the backdrop of expanding London and New York social circles, the book investigates how competition for high social status shaped these unions. American women faced considerable prejudice in Britain, where they were stereotyped as frivolous, vain and calculating-stereotypes that reflected deeper anti-American sentiment among the British establishment. The narrative reveals how these marriages became contested spaces where anxieties about materialism, social change and the dilution of aristocratic traditions played out. Published by Routledge as part of their Library Editions series on Women's History, this work provides historical insight into gender, class and international relations during the Victorian era and early twentieth century, challenging conventional narratives about transatlantic marriage markets and women's agency in elite society.
