Abstract

[The marriages of aristocratic British women were in many ways supremely non- romantic, often resembling business deals far more than loving lifelong unions. It was in the settling of the practical considerations surrounding these unions that women’s roles as cogs in the larger machines that were their families and rank become most clear. Families managed this aspect of noble matches with a clear eye on the preservation of rank identity.]
