The First Divorced Husband
Maria Bertram's mistake in choosing to marry for status over mutual respect ultimately leads to her ostracism from society, and when Henry Tilney corrects Catherine's suspicions about his mother's death by stating that \"'I will not pretend to say that while she lived, she might not often have had much to bear'\" (NA 197), Catherine (as well as the reader) finds a bleak relief in the knowledge that, while Mrs. Tilney might have been deeply unhappy in her marriage to the General, she at least was not a victim of murder. In this essay, I'll discuss some of the successful cases from the late eighteenth century that passed in the ecclesiastical courts, before offering some observations on two important Parliamentary cases that occurred during Austen's lifetime: that of Jane Addison, who obtained a full divorce from her husband in 1801 on the grounds of adultery and incest, as well as the case of Elizabeth Teush, whose application for divorce four years later did not meet with similar success. [...]with these cases in mind, I'll turn to the two fictional cases of divorce in Austen's novels-Eliza from Sense and Sensibility and Maria from Mansfield Park-as I consider the potential impact these incremental shifts in the gendered nature of marital separation might have had on Austen's fiction. While the higher frequency of success for petitions for divorce in the ecclesiastical courts makes an exact number of successful suits brought by women nationwide difficult to obtain, trial reports from Austen's life and the decades before she was born offer some insight into the statistics as well as the circumstances under which women were able to petition successfully for divorce a mensa et thoro.4 Perhaps the best-known example of trial publications consists of seven volumes' worth of court case narratives written by a civilian who took it upon himself to compile two decades' worth of trials throughout the 1760s and '70s, titled Trials for Adultery; or, the History of Divorces.

Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate-Mediated Self-Assembly of Silk Particles from Formic Acid Solutions into Robust Films
Silk proteins are versatile biopolymers well-suited to act as foundational components of a wide range of biomaterials. Rapidly gelling, self-assembling systems are especially valuable for drug delivery and biomedical applications. In this study, we present a way to induce the solid coaggregation of silk fibroin (SF) by adding the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) into an SF solution prepared in formic acid (FA). SF films prepared by dissolving silk in CaCl
-FA and subsequently rinsing in water to remove CaCl
were re-solubilized in FA with different content of SDBS. It was found that SF aggregation time is strongly modulated by the presence of SDBS. At increasing surfactant content, hydrophobic interactions between the SF chains and SDBS promote the formation of spherical coaggregates, whose size increases with surfactant concentration. FTIR analysis reveals that this process is accompanied by the formation of β-sheet structures, likely driven by hydrophobic interactions. This spontaneous liquid-to-solid phase transition promotes the formation of mechanically robust SF films with tunable electrical properties.
