About The Book
This latest work from an author known for her contributions to the new cultural history is a multidisciplinary investigation of the foundations of modern politics. «Family Romance» was coined by Freud to describe the fantasy of being freed from one’s family & joining one of higher social standing. Lynn Hunt uses the term broadly to describe the images of the familial order underlying revolutionary politics. In a wide-ranging account using novels, engravings, paintings, speeches, newspaper editorials, pornographic writing & revolutionary legislation about the family, Hunt shows that politics were experienced thru the grid of the family romance.
