Produktbeschreibung

Using Church Court records as his main body of evidence, John Addy examines over 10 000 cases of moral offences, including fornication, drunkenness and adultery, to form a picture of the moral conduct of the Stuart laity and clergy. This title will be of great value to undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in seventeenth-century attitudes towards morality and conduct.
