Alienated Affections: The Scottish Experience of Divorce & Separation, 1684-1830.

SKU: 10919

Contrary to popular belief, divorce and legal separation were available on equal terms to men and women in 18th and early 19th century Scotland. Personal accounts of adultery, cruelty, desertion and nullity fill this exposition of divorce and separation in Scotland in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. The entire spectrum of Scottish society is involved, telling their stories in their own words. Like new. Edinburgh University Press. 1998. Paper. USED. $25.00
