The Language of Abuse: Marital Violence in Later Medieval England: Later Medieval Europe, cartea 2

Autor Sara Butler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 ian 2007
The Language of Abuse provides the first comprehensive examination of marital violence in later medieval England. Drawing from a wide variety of legal and literary sources, this book develops a nuanced perspective of the acceptability of marital violence at a time when social expectations of gender and marriage were in transition. As such, Butler’s work contributes to current debates concerning the role of the jury, levels of violence in late medieval England, the power relationship within marriage, and the position of women in medieval society.
