Description

Like many gentlemen of his time, Darwin married his first cousin.

In fact, marriages between close relatives were commonplace in 19th-century England, and Kuper argues that they played a crucial role in the rise of the bourgeoisie.

This study brings out the connection between private lives, public fortunes, and the history of imperial Britain.
