内容説明

A collection of essays drawing together recent historical research on gender and 18th-century England. The book examines the experiences of men and women in public and private life and challenges the generally accepted belief that the 18th century saw the establishment of sexually segregated spheres. Instead, by drawing widely on historical sources, the essays integrate gender and mainstream history to show how complex and fluid gender relations actually were.
