This study focuses on the courting and marrying behaviors in matrimonial enforcement suits in the London Consistory Court depositions from 1586 to 1611 and in Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" and "Twelfth Night." Linking these two different kinds of evidence, the book's detailed readings examine the roles available to women and men within courtship and marriage, probe the ways in which they perceived and contested their behaviors within these processes, and reveal females and males as agents capable of challenging the roles assigned to them.
Loreen L. Giese's study of over 5000 important folios of court depositions contemporary with Shakespeare's plays demonstrates the complex ways those plays participate in and comment upon their culture, rather than stand apart from it. Both the court records and the plays present women as agents who are capable of challenging their traditional roles.

"Giese offers a strong and richly-evidenced argument, and the fundamental research will not soon be outdated or overtaken. This book will be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of scholars of early modern marriage, London, and Shakespeare." - Vanessa Harding, Birkbeck, University of London.
"The material in the London Consistory Court depositions is fascinating-it provides a rare opportunity to hear voices of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries talking about details of personal lives." - Linda Woodbridge, Pennsylvania State University
