Abstract

Before 1857 England was the only Protestant country with virtually no facilities for full divorce on the grounds of adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This book tells, for the first time, the complex story of how, from the Reformation to the present, English men and women have contrived to use, twist or defy the law in order to deal with marital breakdown. Lawrence Stone, one of the leading historians of family life, has used personal testimonies from previously unexplored court records to offer astonishingly frank and intimate insights into the changing view about love, sex, adultery, marriage and marital breakdown.

Abstract

Lawrence Stone shows in absorbing detail, through a series of case-studies, how courting and marrying couples tended to manoeuvre around the ambiguities of the law, and how they sometimes became entangled in a web of moral and legal contradiction leading to personal catastrophe. There are stories about unwise courtship, prenuptial pregnancies, forced marriages by parents or parish officials, bigamy, clandestine marriages often performed in haste in peculiarly squalid circumstances and repented at leisure.
