Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. h/b 210 pages, condition is very good. Here are portraits of three very different Victorian women, all of whom married men of exceptional talent, energy and genius. To be the wife of such frenetic, explosive characters as David Livingstone, Karl Marx or Charles Darwin, especially at this period in history demanded rare qualities. Yet the late twentieth-century view of these women is perhaps best summed up in the frequently heard comment: 'I didn't know he had a wife.' The mid-nineteenth century was a time of unprecedented movement and upheaval. The revolutions of 1848 set Europe ablaze and sent swarms of political disidents to seek freedom outside their homelands. Britain and her Empire were ruled by a young Queen Victoria, inspired by her enterprising, vigorous consort, Albert; it was a climate in which invention and discovery were encouraged. Men were creating new frontiers, both geographically and intellectually, and where they went their wives and families accompanied them. The misionary-explorer Livingstone was penetrating the dark interior of Africa. Max, a refugee from his native Germany, was opening up new dimensions in politics, while Darwin's scientific theories were rocking the foundations of religious belief. In each case they were assisted beyond measure by their wives, all greatly loved and all the daughters of the men whom they most admired. Constant child-bearing, illness and bereavement haunted them, and for Mary Livingstone and Jenny Marx, continually uprooted and set down in alien surroundings, physical danger, privation and poverty were all too familiar. Without those strong, supportive, enduring women, who could provide domesticity and companionship in the heart of the jungle, a tranquil oasis in the squalid slums of Soho, consolation amid tragedy, would these men have achieved so much? Edna Healey, herself the wife of a major political figure, look at nineteenth-century history from a new viewpoint, and describes these fascinating partnerships with insight and sensitivity.
