Monogamy and Polygamy in Religion and Literature
A critique argues monogamy aligns with human happiness and Western literary refinement while polygamy appears in Semitic origins and ancient religions. It notes biblical text inadequacies against polygamy, contrasts Persian and Indian amatory poetry with Solomon or Hafiz, and cites Spencer on love’s social role.
