Product Review
"Walker has produced an impressive and important piece of scholarship that will be required reading for historians of disorder, crime, and the courts in early modern English."
- The Historian
"In her great Crime, Gender and Social Order in Early Modern England, Garthine Walker argues that historians have been so little surprised by men's predominance in criminal matters that we have been lulled into accepting a whole set of unwarranted assumptions about men, women, gender roles, crime, and early-modern society in general. This ambitious book challenges these assumptions, and, as does all the best history, offers fresh and compelling answers to questions we thought we had already answered or had not thought to ask. [A] stimulating book [with] characteristic rigour and clarityGarthine Walker's methods and conclusions, delivered in clear and engaging prose, offer much to admire, discuss, contest, and build on. This is a book that deserves to be widely read."
- Canadian Journal of History, Gordon DesBrisay, University of Saskatchewan
"This is the most subtle and sophisticated analysis of the relationship between gender, crime, and justice in early modern England yet published."
- H-Albion
"By bringing the tools of gender studies, discourse analysis, and social history to bear on her subject, Walker has ultimately produced a work of great richness, illuminating early modern Enlish society in all its raucous, disorderly, contentious, opinionated, and colorful ways."
- Mary Beth Emmerichs, University of Wisconsin, Sheboygan
"this book is an great overview of the social and judicial history of localities in early modern England Walker's book is a strong addition to the historiography of women's history, legal history, and social history within the early modern world."
- Sixteenth Century Journal, Kristen Post Walton, Salisbury University
"This is a rich, layered book, packed with insights and compelling illustration, and securely founded on the authority of the expert." - Journal of Modern History, Malcolm Gaskill, Churchill College, Cambridge University
Product Description
Garthine Walker reveals that women were not treated leniently by the courts and that beliefs about gender and order impacted on real legal outcomes in early modern England. She demonstrates that the household role had as much to do with the nature of criminality as the individual in this period. Challenging hitherto accepted views regarding gender stereotyping, this book illuminates the complexities of everyday English life in the early modern period.
