History of England  [LONGMAN UK IMPORTS]   (Western and World History)

Professor Crawford has been working in womens history since the 1970s. She is the author of Women and Religion in England 1500-1720, Women in Early Modern England (with Sara Mendelson) and Womens Worlds in Seventeenth-Century England: A Sourcebook (with Laura Gowing).

`Blood, Bodies and Families' presents an innovative series of studies in the cultural and social history of early modern England. The book includes key new research and previously published influential studies. It includes studies of menstruation, sexual knowledge, as well as of infants and maternity. Two new studies, one about blood and paternity, the other about the sibling relationship, and an Introduction extend our understanding of the meanings of families for individuals in early modern times. A sustained treatment of gender offers a new perspective on the history of an individual family and the shaping of its history.

`Blood, Bodies and Families draws upon original research in a range of primary and secondary sources. The new studies, especially the one on siblings, open up new areas for early modern history. The Introduction relates these issues of family life to the present and succeeds in being both highly topical and engagingly personal.

This work is essential reading for students, teachers and researchers in all areas of the history of the family and of early modern history.

  The first general survey of the history of women in early modern Ireland.  Based on an impressive range of source material, it presents the results of original research into womens lives and experiences in Ireland from 1500 to 1800.  This was a time of considerable change in Ireland as English colonisation, religious reform and urbanisation transformed society on the island.  Gaelic society based on dynastic lordships and Brehon Law gave way to an anglicised and centralised form of government and an English legal system.

  Suitable for undergraduate courses in Irish social history and early Modern Irish History.

  The book is divided into three coherent parts on the following themes: bodies and reproduction; maternity from a feminist perspective; and family relationships. Each part is prefaced by a short introduction commenting on new work in the area. This book will appeal to a wide variety of readers because of its sociological, historical and economic foci.

  In the space of barely fifteen years, the history of masculinity has become an important dimension of social and cultural history.  Manliness and Masculinities brings together nine key articles John Tosh has written over the past ten years that use the theme of masculinity to bring a fresh perspective to the social history of the nineteenth century.  These pieces document the aspirations of the first contributors to the field, and the development of an agenda of key historical issues that have become central to our conceptualising of gender in history.

  This text is for undergraduate courses in nineteenth century history, Imperial history and the history of gender.
