Synopsis "Rose, p: Parallel Lives (in English)"
'As fascinating and incisive as when I first read it. And more cogent, if that's possible perhaps because I have been married longer. It is enterprising and wise to bring it to a new generation This time I will not be parted from my copy.' Hilary Mantel, author of The Mirror and the Light A new introduction by Sheila Heti.In every relationship there are two narratives; more often than not these narratives do not converge. This is the basis for academic and writer Phyllis Rose's cult classic Parallel Lives, a book that examines five literary Victorian partnerships, from Charles Dickens's disastrous marriage to Catherine Hogarth to George Eliot's joyful and unwed union with George Henry Lewes. In an age where divorce was scandalous and 'until death do us part' was taken literally, the subjects of Rose's book were forced to find inventive and surprising ways to coexist. As she tracks the shifting tides of power within these parallel lives in fascinating detail, Rose shows how desire, fantasy and control play out in our most intimate relationships. Parallel Lives is an engrossing group biography and an essential work of feminist non-fiction that continues to resonate, compelling us to reflect on how we live now.
