An extended study of gender and crime in early modern England. It
considers the ways in which criminal behaviour and perceptions of
criminality were informed by ideas about gender and order, and
explores their practical consequences for the men and women who
were brought before the criminal courts. Dr Walker's innovative
approach demonstrates that, contrary to received opinion, the law
was often structured so as to make the treatment of women and men
before the courts incommensurable. For the first time, early modern
criminality is explored in terms of masculinity as well as
femininity. Illuminating the interactions between gender and other
categories such as class and civil war have implications not merely
for the historiography of crime but for the social history of early
modern England as a whole. This study therefore goes beyond
conventional studies, and challenges hitherto accepted views of
social interaction in the period.
