Manhood in Early Modern England : Honour, Sex and Marriage Hardback
by Elizabeth A Foyster
Part of the Women And Men In History series
Hardback
Description
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.
