Adopting a 'life course' approach, the book explores the social, economic, and cultural contexts of romantic partnerships, from courtship through to marital or family dissolution. Drawing from a wide range of sources that capture official accounts and discourses on the one hand, and the testimony and experience of working-class people on the other, the book offers a uniquely broad and textured view of courtship and marriage in this period. 521 Specialized. 588 Description based on online resource and publisher information; title from PDF title page (viewed on August 12, 2025). 648 7 1800-1899 |2fast 648 7 1855-1939 |2fast 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 650 0 Courtship |zScotland |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Courtship |zScotland |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Marriage |zScotland |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Marriage |zScotland |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Divorce |zScotland |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Divorce |zScotland |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Working class |zScotland |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Working class |zScotland |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Family and Relationships. |2ukslc 650 7 Society & culture: general. |2thema 651 0 Scotland |xSocial conditions |y19th century. 651 0 Scotland |xSocial conditions |y20th century. 700 1 Meek, Jeffrey, |d1971- |eauthor. 700 1 Barclay, Katie, |eauthor. 776 08 |z0-19-878931-9 830 0 Oxford scholarship online. 906 BOOK
