Synopsis
A fresh perspective on the seamy side of history. Maria Nicolaou has done considerable research into the largely unexplored area of divorce and marital separation from the Tudor period to the early Victorian era. Divorced, Beheaded, Sold is full of scandalous, little-known stories of wife sale, marital discord and audacious escapades of errant spouses, this is an interesting, as well as informative read in the same vein as Maureen Waller's The English Marriage and Kate Summerscale's Mrs Robinson's Disgrace. Maria Nicolaou reveals how people ended their marriages in the days before divorce was readily available - from committing bigamy to selling a wife at market. Her book is full of colourful characters and warring spouses, like Con Philips, who fought off her husband with a gun filled with firework powder; the Duke of Grafton, who hired an army of detectives to spy on his wife and obtain proof of her adultery; and Marion Jones, who recruited a gang to take back her property from her husband.

Softcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. 192pp. Lightly illustrated. Indexed. Laminated card covers (very gentle edge wear to card covers, else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout). Examines how people ended marriages in times before divorce was acceptable - including unofficial methods such as bigamy, or simply moving away. Alternatively, a husband could perform a wife sale, where he led his unwanted wife to market in a halter and sold her to the highest bidder, or, if he could afford it, seek a legal separation through the courts.
