It takes the premise that over the past four decades misunderstandings about rape law, and misreadings of rape statutes from medieval to Elizabethan times, have become widely cited in criticism.?Helen Barker?identifies how this has arisen, and discusses the main sources of confusion – including indissoluble issues around the word ‘ravishment’. Rape law historically encompassed elopement and abduction; this book offers a succinct overview of the law, and draws attention to the wider social context other than gender opposition in which it is often presented. In addition, critics have been tempted to rely on the ostensibly authoritative seventeenth-century treatise,?.The Lawes Resolutions of Womens Rights,.?as a legal source. By examining the context of its publication, this book suggests that the treatise is unreliable and can mislead the unwary. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | The Lawes Resolutions of Womens Rights; legal practice; rape law; legal theory; early modern history | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-82609-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-82609-3 | | copyright | The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
