{"product_id":"from-the-margins-of-hindu-lindsey-harlan-9780195081183","title":"From the Margins of Hindu Marriage: Essays on Gender, Religion, and Culture","description":"Providing a unique and intimate view of Hindu marriage, the essays in this collection explore points at which the margins of marriage are traversed or transgressed. Rather than focus on normative expectations within marriage, they examine times in which norms are tested or rejected. Using stories, songs, and narrated accounts, the essays treat such topics as widowhood, adultery, levirate, divorce, and suttee, as well as the subversion of marriage by devotion to deities and by alternative constructions of conjugal duty and marital experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsey Harlan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195081188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195081183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.68h x 6.42w x 0.66d","brand":"Lindsey Harlan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420207239423,"sku":"9780195081183","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3f4555b-7468-48d9-bdb3-818bb096e1b0.jpg?v=1734633949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-margins-of-hindu-lindsey-harlan-9780195081183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
