Description
"Women, Sex and Marriage in Early Modern Venice is the first study to investigate systematically the moral policies of both Church and State in the age of Counter-Reformation confessionalisation in Venice. Examining ecclesiastical and civil lawsuits related to illicit sex, broken marriage promises and disrupted marriages of artisan and ordinary women and men, Daniela Hacke can convincingly show how central sexual morality was to the patriarchal society of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Venice." "Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, the author reconstructs what gender difference meant in daily life, in courtship rituals, marital disputes, and in sexual relations." "The study makes important contributions to the fields of gender history, social history and the history of crime and sexuality."--Jacket.
