Ferguson Prize sponsored by the Canadian Historical AssociationHow were marital and sexual relationships woven into the fabric of late medieval society, and what form did these relationships take? Using extensive documentary evidence from both the ecclesiastical court system and the records of city and royal government, as well as advice manuals, chronicles, moral tales, and liturgical texts, Shannon McSheffrey focuses her study on England's largest city in the second half of the fifteenth century.Marriage was a religious union-one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church and imbued with deep spiritual significance-but the marital unit of husband and wife was also the fundamental domestic, social, political, and economic unit of medieval society. As such, marriage created political alliances at all levels, from the arena of international politics to local neighborhoods. Sexual relationships outside marriage were even more complicated. McSheffrey notes that medieval Londoners saw them as variously attributable to female seduction or to male lustfulness, as irrelevant or deeply damaging to society and to the body politic, as economically productive or wasteful of resources. Yet, like marriage, sexual relationships were also subject to control and influence from parents, relatives, neighbors, civic officials, parish priests, and ecclesiastical judges.Although by medieval canon law a marriage was irrevocable from the moment a man and a woman exchanged vows of consent before two witnesses, in practice marriage was usually a socially complicated process involving many people. McSheffrey looks more broadly at sex, governance, and civic morality to show how medieval patriarchy extended a far wider reach than a father's governance over his biological offspring. By focusing on a particular time and place, she not only elucidates the culture of England's metropolitan center but also contributes generally to our understanding of the social mechanisms through which premodern European people negotiated their lives. 606 $aMarriage$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMarriage law$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSex and law$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMarriage$xHistory 615 0$aMarriage law$xHistory 615 0$aSex and law$xHistory 676 $a306.8109421/20902 700 $aMcSheffrey$b Shannon$01049742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463256603321 996 $aMarriage, sex and civic culture in late medieval London$92490852 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01364nam 2200301z- 450 001 9910830892303321 005 20160801182741.0 035 $a(CKB)3280000000033670 035 $a(BIP)039372479 035 $a(EXLCZ)993280000000033670 100 $a20131001c2012uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 00$aAlcohol-Related Violence: Prevention and Treatment 210 $cWiley-Blackwell 215 $a1 online resource (368 p.) $cill 311 $a1-119-95274-3 330 8 $aNew in the Wiley Series in Forensic Clinical Psychology, Alcohol-Related Violence: Prevention and Treatment presents an authoritative collection of the most recent assessment and treatment strategies for alcohol-related aggression and violence.Features contributions from leading international academics and practitionersOffers invaluable guidance for practitioners regarding intervention to reduce alcohol-related aggression and violenceDescribes evidence-based interventions at a number of levels, including populations, bar room, families, couples, and individuals 610 $aViolence 610 $aAlcoholism 610 $aForensic Psychology 610 $aSocial Science 610 $aPsychology 676 $a616.8582 702 $aMcMurran$b Mary$4edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830892303321 996 $aAlcohol-related violence$93982241 997 $aUNINA
