Five Victorian stories that look at marriage with more irony than the title suggests: Gaskell’s The Manchester Marriage, about a London household and a husband thought lost at sea; Hardy’s A Mere Interlude, in which a bride hides a secret on her wedding journey; George Moore’s A Faithful Heart; Walter Besant’s The Solid Gold Reef Company, Limited; and Henry James’s The Tree of Knowledge.
