Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Family has Become a Subject of Increasing Scrutiny in Recent Years, giving special relevance to this work by the late Michael Sheehan. This collection of Sheehan's papers contains the fruits of a forty-year career of archival research and the interpretation of documents on property, marriage, family, sexuality, and law in medieval Europe. Marked by an early orientation towards and a developing focus on the status of women in the Middle Ages, the work of Michael Sheehan displays a unique tapestry of the social and legal realities of medieval marriages and family life.
