Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Wives for Sale : an Ethnographic Study of British Popular Divorce" by Samuel Pyeatt Menefee. The book was published in 1981 by St. Martin's Press. It is in hardcover format and is the First Edition. The book is now Out of Print - OP. Thr…oughout much of English history, and well into the modern age, it was generally very hard, if no downright impossible, for the average citizen of low income to obtain an official divorce. This created a variety of solutions that are quite shocking, even considering the social environment . From the jacket blurb : "Addressing a bigamous and indigent hawker in the middle of the 19th century, Justice Maule declared, 'Sitting here as an English judge it is my duty to tell you that this is not a country in which there one law for the rich and another for the poor. You will be imprisoned for one day.' The judge's ruling was a wry acknowledgement of the dilemma faced by the man in the street, who was normally unable to obtain a divorce sanctioned by Church or State. For centuries such men resorted to informal means of slipping the knot of matrimony, one of which was selling a wife in the open market. "Wives for Sale" is a fascinating study of this practice, which developed its own traditions, rules and procedures. The author considers the causes and consequences of wife sales and the reaction to the institution of the courts, the press, and the public. He draws parallels between wife-selling and other contemporaneous social practices and beliefs and considers the custom as it was reflected in popular culture. As a scholarly examination of an informal institution, this book makes a valuable contribution to ethnography and social history; as an investigation into an ingenious and pragmatic social practice, the book is an intriguing study for both specialists and general readers."
