From the cover: "A lively study...a writer of great wit and freedom...Rose's anecdotes and insights provide a fresh view of the circumstances that bedeviled relations between the sexes a century ago."
A peek into the private lives of John Ruskin (wedding night trauma), Thomas Carlyle (his wife had the last word from the grave), John Stuart Mill (great thinker suffered from infantile dependency), Charles Dickens ('rock star' of the mid-19th century), and George Eliot (defied convention by co-habitation with her biggest fan).
Some of the most entertaining notes I've ever read!
