The texts include facsimiles of period documents, excerpts of conduct literature on marriage and on wife and servant beating, sermons, popular ballads, literary works offering alternative endings to Shakespeare's play, and documents on women's legal status. The primary documents contextualize the plays treatment of assertive women, marital conflict, and domestic disorder and violence. No library descriptions found. |
