Against the background of the problems involved in the comparative study of human society, the essays in this book show the comparative ideal in practice, which combines elements from both sociology and anthropology. <BR> In each essay, specific problems are treated in a way which tests theory against evidence, to replace assertion by demonstration. <BR> Topics covered include:<BR> · Incest and Adultery<BR> · Double descent systems<BR> · Inheritance, social change and the boundary problem<BR> · Marriage policy<BR> · The |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The centerpiece of The Case of Mistress Mary Hampson is the autobiographical narrative of a 17th-century woman in an abusive and violent marriage. Composed at a time when marital disharmony was in vogue with readers and publishers, it stands out from comparable works, usually single broadsheets. In her own words, Mary recounts various dramatic and stressful episodes from her decades-long marriage to Robert Hampson and her strategies for dealing with it. The harrowing tale contains scenes of physical abuse, mob violence, |
