Description
Using a wide range of sources, this book provides a radical reassessment of eighteenth-century marriage. It analyses what was required for a valid marriage, both before and after the Clandestine Marriages Act of 1753, fundamentally rewriting what scholars previously believed was the law and practice of the time.
