Blood, Bodies and Families in Early Modern England, Paperback / softback Book

Blood, Bodies and Families in Early Modern England Paperback / softback

Part of the Women And Men In History series

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection of essays contains a wealth of information on the nature of the family in the early modern period.

This is a core topic within economic and social history courses which is taught at most universities.

This text gives readers an overview of how feminist historians have been interpreting the history of the family, ever since Laurence Stone's seminal work FAMILY, SEX AND MARRIAGE IN ENGLAND 1500-1800 was published in 1977. The text is divided into three coherent parts on the following themes: bodies and reproduction; maternity from a feminist perspective; and family relationships.

Each part is prefaced by a short introduction commenting on new work in the area. This book will appeal to a wide variety of students because of its sociological, historical and economic foci.
