Vividly depicts the breaking of marriages in the period before 1857, when divorce was only available by Act of Parliament, contrasting the shifting outlook of people with the inflexibility of the Law. Offers compelling insights into daily life and marital conduct from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century.
