Shakespeare, Law, and Marriage Book

This interdisciplinary study combines legal, historical and literary approaches to the practice and theory of marriage in Shakespeare's time, and discovers a wide range of examples in a selection of Shakespeare' s plays. Jerry and Mary Sokol approach the legal history of marriage as part of cultural history. The household was viewed as the basic unit of Elizabethan society, but many aspects of marriage were controversial, and the law was uncertain and confusing. The book, by achieving a better understanding of these issues, illuminates both Shakespeare's work and his age.Read More
