This captivating and thought-provoking book delves into the intricate history of gender in England between 1500 and 1700. The second edition has undergone a thorough revision to incorporate fresh insights on global connections, masculinity, and recent historiography.
Amid the turbulent era of the Reformation and Civil Wars, gender took on a political dimension. The distinction between sexual differences and the roles of women became subjects of public discourse, while profound social and economic transformations were reshaping the realms of work, family, and marriage. The rich repositories of law, state, and family offer a revealing glimpse into the complex tapestry of patriarchal order and the ongoing resistance against it.
Gender in Early Modern England offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of gender relations during a time when a rigid hierarchy of gender coexisted with a remarkable degree of female potential, immense opportunities for challenge and confrontation, and a persistent fascination with the enigmatic nature of the body. The collection of documents encompasses a wide range of materials, including early feminist arguments, legal texts, midwives' books, recipes, protests, sexual insults, cross-dressers, women seeking freedom from slavery, royal favorites, and petitions.
To enhance the reader's experience, the book includes a chronology, a comprehensive list of individuals and organizations, a glossary, a guide to further reading, and previously unpublished archival documents. Gender in Early Modern England serves as an indispensable resource for all students interested in exploring the history of women and gender in England during the captivating period between 1500 and 1700.
