Unquiet Lives: Marriage and Marriage Breakdown in England, 1660-1800




Joanne Bailey, "Unquiet Lives: Marriage and Marriage Breakdown in England, 1660-1800"


English | 2003 | ISBN: 0521810582, 0521093112 | 262 pages | PDF | 1.4 MB






Drawing upon vivid court records and newspaper advertisements, this study challenges traditional views of married life in eighteenth-century England. It reveals husbands" and wives" expectations and experiences of marriage to expose the extent of co-dependency between spouses. The book, therefore, presents a new picture of power in marriage and the household. It also demonstrates how attitudes towards adultery and domestic violence evolved during this period, influenced by profound shifts in cultural attitudes about sexuality and violence.
