    Abstract:
    *Reading Mistress Elizabeth Bourne Marriage, Separation, and Legal Controversies,* Edited by Cristina León Alfar and Emily G. Sherwood, Routledge 2021, The Early Modern Englishwoman, 1500-1750: Contemporary Editions. "Reading Mistress Elizabeth Bourne tells the story of Mistress Bourne’s petition for divorce, its resolution, and her ongoing dispute with her husband, and subsequently with Sir John Conway for custody of her daughters. Letters and documents included in the collection capture the contradiction between married women’s official legal limitations and the complicated avenues of redress available to them. Offering documents heretofore unavailable except through the British Library, National Archives’ State Papers, and Hatfield House, this volume is tremendously important to early modern scholars and our knowledge about and view of women’s negotiations for legal autonomy in the sixteenth century." 20% Discount Available - enter the code FLR40 at checkout* Hb: 978-0-367-70036-2 | $128.00
