The letters capture the contradiction between married women's official legal limitations and the often messy and complicated avenues of redress available to them. Elizabeth's narratives and desire for divorce challenge literary representations of patient endurance where appropriate feminine behavior restores a husband's devotion. The Bourne case offers a unique set of documents heretofore unavailable except through the British Library, National Archives' State Papers, and Hatfield House. Reading Mistress Elizabeth Bourne is tremendously important to early modern scholars and our knowledge about and view of women's negotiations for legal autonomy in the sixteenth century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bourne, Elizabeth, $d 1550-1599 $v Correspondence. 600 10 $a Bourne, Anthony, $d 1547- $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Married women $x History $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Divorce $x History $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Separation (Law) $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Custody of children $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Alimony $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Support (Domestic relations) $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 7 $a Alimony. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805342 650 7 $a Divorce $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895818 650 7 $a Married women $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010718 650 7 $a Separation (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112708 650 7 $a Support (Domestic relations) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139133 650 7 $a Women $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176824 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 1500-1599 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Personal correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919948 700 1 $a Alfar, Cristina Leon, $d 1963- $e editor. 700 1 $a Sherwood, Emily G., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t The selected correspondence of elizabeth bourne. $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003144311 $w (DLC) 2020040994 830 0 $a Early modern Englishwoman, 1500-1750. $p Contemporary editions. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017022021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A91C4444CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
