William Kuby. Conjugal Misconduct: Defying Marriage Law in the Twentieth-Century United States
If the title of William Kuby’s Conjugal Misconduct: Defying Marriage Law in the Twentieth-Century United States leads you to expect juicy adultery stories, you will be disappointed. Its subject is not defiance of marriage but slight infractions in modes of getting married. The book’s protagonists embrace conventional marriage but go about marrying in ways that some moralists disapprove and that may sidestep very particular (and usually short-live…

Making and Circulating the News in an Illiberal Age
The 2017 Organization of American Historians conference theme of “circulation” had the virtue of capaciousness, evoking many different potential applications, tangible and intangible, natural and constructed, operating at various scales. Roads around a city, ideas around the world, blood through the body, rumors through a community—all of these circulate. So does news. Circulation is intrinsic to news. That is my topic tonight because we have bee…

Inside the Castle: Law and the Family in 20th Century America
Advertised on the book jacket as “a comprehensive social history of twentieth-century family law,” Inside the Castle is less than that. It provides no satisfying social history, while regrettably (if inadvertently) consolidating the misleading notion that a solid bastion of “traditional” marriage and social mores prevailed before 1900. The book does usefully relate sequential legal changes since 1900, arguing—unsurprisingly—that what counts as “f…

Two Beards: Coauthorship and the Concept of Civilization
Is IT THE FATE OF COAUTHORS NEVER TO ACHIEVE INDIVIDUALITY, OR to see the lesser-known sacrificed to the other's reputation? Perhaps it is, and always more predictably when the coauthors are husband and wife. In the case of Charles and Mary Beard, there is no question as to who made the bigger impression on intellectual life. Not only as an historian but also as a political scientist and educator, Charles A. Beard was one of the most influential …
