Description

Explore the social history and moral landscape of the seventeenth century with Sin & Society (Routledge Revivals): In the Seventeenth Century. Originally published in 1989, this academic study provides a deep look into the social relationships and moral standards within the diocese of Chester. By analyzing Church Court records, author John Addy presents a detailed picture of the conduct of both the Stuart laity and clergy. This work examines over 10,000 cases involving moral offenses such as adultery, fornication, drunkenness, concubinage, and brawling in church. These records serve as a primary window into how the Church attempted to enforce strict codes of conduct during this era. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and legal history. It offers a unique perspective on how ecclesiastical courts functioned as a method for maintaining social order and moral discipline in seventeenth-century England.
