Zusammenfassung The practice of plural marriage, commonly known as polygamy, stirred intense controversy in postbellum America until 1890, when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first officially abolished the practice. Elder Northfield’s Home, published in 1882, is both a staunchly anti-polygamy novel and a call for the sentimental repatriation of polygamy’s victims.
