    44 . This can be seen from the following comment from Sir William Blackstone’s
Commentaries on the Laws of England
(1765):
    By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law; that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection and
cover
, she performs everything.
    Quoted by E. J. Clery in her essay ‘The Politics of the Gothic Heroine in the 1790s’ in Philip Martin and Robin Jarvis, eds.,
Reviewing Romanticism
(London: Macmillan, 1992),
    p. 78. As Clery goes on to comment, ‘the doctrine of coverture was one of those ancient feudal relics which were readily integrated within the new structure of capitalism’.
