The Marital Economy in Scandinavia and Britain 1400-1900 by Maria Agren
Marriage today is our prime social and legal institution. Historically, it was also the principal economic institution. This collection of essays offers a wealth of original research into the economic, social and legal history of the marital partnership in northern Europe over a 500-year period.
'.. a fascinating exercise in comparative history that makes a powerful argument for the vital importance of the marital economy to the history of Europe. It challenges assumptions about the distinctiveness of individual nations and will change the way historians and economists view the marriage partnership.' Tim Stretton, Associate Professor of History, Saint Mary's University, Nova Scotia 'The research is original and represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the economic, social and legal history of marital partnerships in northern Europe.'
