Through letters, legal treatises, case law, wills, and works of literature, the contributors explore women's complex roles as subjects and agents in commercial and domestic economies, and as objects shaped by a network of social and legal relationships. By constructing conversations across the disciplinary boundaries of legal and social history, sociology and literary criticism, the collection explores a diverse range of women's property relationships.Recent research has revealed fissures in our knowledge about women's property relationships within a regime characterized by competing jurisdictions, diverse systems of tenure, and multiple concepts of property. Women, Property, and the Letters of the Law in Early Modern England turns to these points of departure for the study of women's legal status and property relationships in the early modern period. This interdisciplinary analysis of women and property is written in an accessible manner and will become a valuable resource for scholars and students of Renaissance, Restoration and eighteenth-century literature, early modern social and legal history, and women's studies. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$y16th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$y17th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$y18th century 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zEngland$xHistory$yModern period, 1600- 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLaw and literature$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aRight of property$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aProperty in literature 606 $aLaw in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLaw and literature$xHistory 615 0$aRight of property$xHistory. 615 0$aProperty in literature. 615 0$aLaw in literature. 676 $a820.93522 702 $aWright$b Nancy E. 702 $aFerguson$b Margaret W.$f1948- 702 $aBuck$b A.
