The Modern Marriage Market (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419174384)

The Modern Marriage Market is a book written by the renowned British author Marie Corelli. It is a novel that explores the complexities of love and marriage in the modern world. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the lives of several characters who are trying to navigate the intricacies of the marriage market.The novel is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the marriage market. The first part deals with the social and economic pressures that people face when trying to find a suitable partner. It examines the role of money, social status, and family connections in the marriage market, and how these factors can both help and hinder people in their search for love.The second part of the book focuses on the emotional and psychological aspects of love and marriage. It explores the themes of passion, desire, and commitment, and how these emotions can both bring people together and tear them apart. The characters in this section of the book struggle with issues such as infidelity, jealousy, and the fear of commitment.The third and final part of the novel is a reflection on the nature of love and its place in society. It asks whether love can truly conquer all, or whether it is ultimately doomed to fail in the face of social and economic pressures. The book ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that love can indeed triumph over these obstacles if people are willing to take risks and follow their hearts.Overall, The Modern Marriage Market is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of love and marriage in the modern world. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the psychology of relationships and the social forces that shape them.It is impossible, in the complex life of our time, that there should not be a large and powerful element in society whose influence is not altogether for good. The great wealth and luxury of to-day must produce effects which are demoralising and weakening to the characters of those who live under their influence; but every age has had the same evil, though perhaps to a less intensified degree. Where there is great wealth there must be great extravagance and display; but if only controlled and properly directed, its effect may benefit the community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
