The book explores the rise of civil divorce in Victorian England, the subsequent operation of a fault system of divorce based solely on grounds of adultery, and the repeal of the Victorian divorce law during the Interwar years. It will be valuable to academics and researchers with interest in Legal History, Family Law, and Victorian Studies.

Henry Kha is Lecturer in Law at Macquarie University.
