The volume illuminates the overarching theme of her work by addressing a basic historical question: Why did the attitudes toward gender and family relations that we now consider traditional values emerge when they did? Bloch looks deeply into eighteenth-century culture to answer this question, highlighting long-term developments in religion, intellectual history, law, and literature, showing that the eighteenth century was a time of profound transformation for women's roles as wives and mothers, for ideas about sexuality, and for notions of female moral authority. She engages topics from British moral philosophy to colonial laws regarding courtship, and from the popularity of the sentimental novel to the psychology of religious revivalism. Lucid, provocative, and wide-ranging, these eight essays bring a revisionist challenge to both women's studies and cultural studies as they ask us to reconsider the origins of the system of gender relations that has dominated American culture for two hundred years. 606 $aWomen$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aWomen colonists$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aSex role$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aEthics$xHistory$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen colonists$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aEthics$xHistory 676 $a305.4/0973 700 $aBloch$b Ruth Heidi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01051068 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455646803321 996 $aGender and Morality in Anglo-American Culture, 1650-1800$92481331 997 $aUNINA
