In Parish Clergy Wives in Elizabethan England, Anne Thompson shifts
the emphasis from the institution of clerical marriage to the
people and personalities involved. Women who have hitherto been
defined by their supposed obscurity and unsuitability are shown to
have anticipated and exhibited the character, virtues, and duties
associated with the archetypal clergy wife of later centuries.
Through adept use of an extensive and eclectic range of archival
material, this book offers insights into the perception and lived
experience of ministers' wives. In challenging accepted views on
the social status of clergy wives and their role and reception
within the community, new light is thrown on a neglected but
crucial aspect of religious, social, and women's history.
Inquisitions of heresy have long fascinated both specialists and
non-specialists. A Companion to Heresy Inquisitions presents a
synthesis of the immense amount of scholarship generated about
these institutions in recent years. The volume offers an overview
of many of the most significant areas of heresy inquisitions, both
medieval and early modern. The essays in this collection are
intended to introduce the reader to disagreements and advances in
the field, as well as providing a navigational aid to the wide
variety of recent discoveries and controversies in studies of
heresy inquisitions. Contributors: Christine Ames, Feberico
Barbierato, Elena Bonora, Lucia Helena Costigan, Michael Frassetto,
Henry Ansgar Kelly, Helen Rawlings, Lucy Sackville, Werner Thomas,
and Robin Vose
