This interdisciplinary study combines legal, historical and
literary approaches to the practice and theory of marriage in
Shakespeare's time. It uses the history of English law and the
history of the contexts of law to study a wide range of
Shakespeare's plays and poems. The authors approach the legal
history of marriage as part of cultural history. The household was
viewed as the basic unit of Elizabethan society, but many aspects
of marriage were controversial, and the law relating to marriage
was uncertain and confusing, leading to bitter disagreements over
the proper modes for marriage choice and conduct. The authors point
out numerous instances within Shakespeare's plays of the conflict
over status, gender relations, property, religious belief and
individual autonomy versus community control. By achieving a better
understanding of these issues, the book illuminates both
Shakespeare's work and his age.
