ISBN: 0812230728 ISBN-13: 9780812230727 Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press OUR PRICE: $80.70 Product Type: Hardcover Published: September 1991 Annotation: 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. |
