Abstract
"The Soldier's Reward: Love and War in the Age of the French Revolution and Napoleon" by Jennifer Ngaire Heuer and "Matchmaking and the Marriage Market in Postrevolutionary France" by Andrea Mansker explore the intersection of personal and political aspects of marriage during times of unrest in France. Heuer's book delves into the romantic relationships and marriages of men facing military service, while Mansker's work focuses on marriage brokers and the consumer-based approach to courtship in the 19th century. Both authors highlight the complexities and contradictions surrounding marriage as a reward, a marketplace, and a sacred union, shedding light on the evolving attitudes towards matrimony in French society.
