Introduction : burying the past : Iranian modernity's marriage to realism.
Dismembering and re-membering the beloved : how the Civil Code remade marriage and marriage remade love.
Wedding or funeral? : the Family Protection Act and the bride's consent.
Ain't I a woman? : domesticity's other.
Exhuming the beloved, revising the past : lawlessness and postmodernism.
A metaphor for civil society? : marriage and "rights talk" in the Khtamī period.
Conclusion : a severed head? : Iranian literary modernity in transnational context.
This title reveals how novels mediate legal reforms and examines how authors have used realism to challenge and re-imagine notions of 'the real'. The book explores seminal works that foreground acute anxieties about female subjectivity in an Iran negotiating its modernity.
