Abstract

Caroline Arni reconstructs marriage and experiences in marriage from the point of its demise by examining and evaluating divorce records from Bern, Switzerland around 1900. From these analyses of “obvious catastrophe,” it becomes splendidly understandable how a sociocultural institution, which during the course of the 20th Century received competition from living arrangements such as civil unions and patchwork families, slipped into a crisis. Anri succeeds in extracting from the dusty mounds of records a study that is entertaining and exceedingly innovative in terms of research.
