Description for Patriarchy and Families of Privilege in Fifteenth-Century England
hardcover. This study contends that, contrary to popular belief, there was no single structure or paradigm of family that embraced all men and women in the late Middle Ages. It demonstrates how individuals lived simultaneously within the patriarchal structure, the nuclear family and networks of kin. Series: The Middle Ages Series. Num Pages: 304 pages, 17 illus. BIC Classification: 1DBKE; 3H; 3JB; HBJD1; HBLC; HBTB; JHBK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 138 x 26. Weight in Grams: 700.
There are, contends Joel Rosenthal, two suppositions that have achieved almost full and unquestionable acceptance in contemporary social history and family studies. The first is that at any given time in any given culture one particular form or model of the family dominates; the second is that historical changes in the family operate in a single and compelling direction.
In Patriarchy and Families of Privilege in Fifteenth-Century England, the author joins quantitative and legal evidence with case studies to yield a depiction of the family as something at once corporeal, fictive, and symbolic.
