Product Description

Product Description
This study examines the lives of many 19th century individuals, revealing the nuances of courtship, marriage and common law in Victorian England. Evidence is drawn from 875 actual breach-of-promise cases to show that they functioned to repair lives damaged by the conditions caused by gender.
