|aMarriage between older husbands and younger wives was common in nineteenth-century literature, and as Godfrey skillfully argues, provides auseful window into the dynamics of the patriarchic paradigm. Examiningcanonical and non-canonical texts from Sense and Sensibility to Dracula, this study finds that literary January-May marriages respond to distinctively nineteenth-century anxieties regarding gender roles by deploying a surprising range of modes parody, incest, aesthetics, horror, economics, and love. The January-May Marriage in Nineteenth-Century British Literature ultimately arguesthat age, like race, sexuality and classis an essential component of gendered identities.
