Bringing together a wide variety of literary and legal sources - including sermons, pamphlets, plays, diaries, periodicals, trial reports and the records of marital litigation - it documents a growing diversity in perceptions of marital infidelity in this period, against the backdrop of an explosion in print culture and a decline in the judicial regulation of sexual immorality. In general terms the book charts and explains a gradual transformation of ideas about extra-marital sex, whereby the powerfully established religious argument that adultery was universally a sin became increasingly open to challenge. The book charts significant developments in the idiom in which sexually transgressive behaviour was discussed, showing how evolving ideas of civility and social refinement and new thinking about gender difference influenced assessments of immoral behaviour. 410 0$aPast and present publications. 606 $aAdultery$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y18th century 615 0$aAdultery$xHistory. 676 $a306.73/6/0942 700 $aTurner$b David M.$f1972-$0850532 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450148503321 996 $aFashioning adultery$91899060 997 $aUNINA
