Publisher's Synopsis
Lovers and Husbands A Story of Married Life is T. S. Arthur's romantic novel portraying Flora Elton, her suitors and decisions toward marriage. "His profession, and the manner of his prosecuting it, has nothing to do with him as a lover, or, indeed, as a husband. It is at home, not in business, that we are to regard the man of our choice. If we are truly loved and cared for, we need not trouble ourselves about how business is conducted. That is a matter outside of our province - a matter of which we cannot judge correctly." "I will never marry a man whose principles I despise." Timothy Shay Arthur was a popular 19th-century American author most famous for his temperance novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There. He was also the author of dozens of stories for Godey's Lady's Book. Arthur did much to articulate and disseminate the values, beliefs, and habits that defined respectable life in America.
