Shakespeare is bowdlerized between 1807 and 1818 when The Family Shakespeare is published, expurgating "those words and expressions... which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family." "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" "The family that prays together stays together" "Bertha Mason is mad; and she came of a mad family; idiots and maniacs through three generations! Her mother, the Creole, was both a madwoman and a drunkard!—as I found out after I had wed the daughter: for they were silent on family secrets before. Bertha, like a dutiful child, copied her parent in both points."--Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë "In the United States, the banner of family values has been used by social conservatives to express opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, and certain specific feminist objectives in politics."--Sholem Stein |
