Leslie Katz, ‘‘“[L]et him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace”: Jane Eyre and John Marchmont’s Legacy, Two Novels Containing an Aborted Marriage Ceremony’

In this paper, I compare two men who attempt to marry although already married. In one case, the man is both morally blameless and innocent of crime. In the other, the man is both morally blameworthy and guilty of crime. In both cases I explain why.
