Doomed Romance: Broken Hearts, Lost Souls, and Sexual Tumult in Nineteenth-Century America

byChristine Leigh Heyrman

Focused on broken Hearts, Lost Souls, and Sexual Tumult in Nineteenth-Century America, Doomed Romance brings Christine Leigh Heyrman's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
