Charmian Mansell

Female Servants in Early Modern England (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Excavating experiences of over a thousand women in service from church court testimony, Mansell argues that early modern service was unstable, but finely graded, fluid, and contingent. Intervening in histories of labour, gender, freedom, and law, Female Servants in Early Modern England rethinks our understanding of the institution of service.
