Excellent- More about Constructing the Family: Marriage and Work in Nineteenth-Century English Law
The legal conceptions of work and family changed in nineteenth-century England, leading to the dissolution of the household, the establishment of separate spheres of work and family, and the emergence of modern legal and social ideas concerning work and family. Constructing the Family examines the evolution of the legal-discursive framework governing work and family relations and how specific legal-institutional moves contributed to the creation of the family's categorical status in the social and legal order.

In the 19th century, England experienced significant transformations in the legal conceptions of work and family. Notably, significant legal developments occurred that altered the legal understanding of the family. Constructing the Family delves into the evolution of the legal-discursive framework governing work and family relations. Luke Taylor explores the interplay of intellectual and institutional forces that led to the dissolution of the household, the establishment of distinct spheres of work and family, and the emergence of modern legal and social ideas concerning work and family. He demonstrates how specific legal-institutional moves contributed to the creation of the family's categorical status in the social and legal order, as well as the development of a distinct and exceptional body of rules known as Family Law for its governance. By shedding light on the historical processes that shaped the emergence of English Family Law, Constructing the Family reveals how work and family became separate regulatory domains, thereby unveiling the contingent nature of the modern legal family.
