The Little Republic: Masculinity and Domestic Authority in Eighteenth-Century Britain by Karen Harvey
English | 2012 | ISBN-10: 0199533849 | 240 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB
The relationship between men and the domestic in eighteenth-century Britain has been obscured by two well-established historiographical narratives. The first charts changes in domestic patriarchy, founded on political patriarchalism in the early modern period and transformed during the eighteenth century by new types of family relationship rooted in contract theory.
