  • Book Description

    This is the first study of how masculinity and femininity informed criminal behaviour and the fates of men and women before the courts of early modern England. Dr Walker shows that women were not treated lenient ly by the courts and that ideas about gender and order impacted on real legal outcomes. She also demonstrates that the household had as much to do with the nature of criminality as the individual in this period. Challenging hitherto accepted views, this book illuminates the complexities of everyday life in the early modern period.
