Widowhood in Medieval and Early Modern Europe Paperback / softback
by Sandra Cavallo, Lyndan Warner
Part of the Women And Men In History series
Paperback / softback
Description
This new collection of essays brings together brand new research on widowhood in medieval and early modern Europe.
The volume opens with an introductory chapter by the Editors which looks generally at the conditions and constructions of widowhood in this period.
This is followed by a range of essays which illuminate different dimensions of widowhood across Europe - in England, Italy, France, Germany and Spain.
A particular attraction of the volume is the attention given to widowers, and the comparisons made between the male and female experience of widowhood.
It is an exciting reinterpretation of the subject which will do much to undo the traditional stereotype of the widow. Contributing to the volume are: Jodi Bilinkoff, Giulia Calvi, Sandra Cavallo, Isabelle Chabot, Julia Crick, Amy Erikson, Dagmar Freist, Elizabeth Foyster, Margaret Pelling, Pamela Sharpe,Tim Stretton, Barbara Todd, and Lyndan Warner.
