Manhood in Early Modern England: Honour, Sex and Marriage: Women And Men In History

Autor Elizabeth A Foyster
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 1999
This is the first book to focus on the relationships which men formed with their wives in early modern England, making it an important contribution to a new understanding of English, social, family, and gender history. Dr Foyster redresses the balance of historical research which has largely concentrated on the public lives of prominent men. The book looks at youth and courtship before marriage, male fears of their wives' gossip and sexual betrayal, and male friendships before and after marriage. Highlighted throughout is the importance of sexual reputation. Based on both legal records and fictional sources, this is a fascinating insight into the personal lives of ordinary men and women in early modern England.

Descriere

 Focusing on the relationships that men formed with their wives in early modern England, Elizabeth Foyster makes an important contribution to social, family, and gender history. By studying men's personal lives she redresses the balance of research which has largely concentrated on the public lives of prominent men. Looking at youth and courtship before marriage, male fears of their wives' gossip and sexual betrayal, and male friendships before and after marriage, the importance of sexual reputation is highlighted throughout. Based on both legal records and fictional sources, this is a fascinating insight into the lives of ordinary men and women.
