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.
