Description

This scholarly work, first published in 1985, offers a comprehensive exploration of divorce in British history from the first documented case in 1670 through the Victorian era. Professor Horstman examines how divorce developed as a legal and social institution, tracing the various means by which it occurred and analysing the relationship between actual practice and prevailing moral attitudes of the time. The book presents numerous case summaries that illuminate the behaviour patterns and moral dilemmas faced by individuals pursuing divorce as a last resort. Written in an engaging and vivid style, it provides surprising insights into the personal struggles and social conventions of our ancestors from just over a century ago, making it an invaluable resource for understanding Victorian society, legal history, and the evolution of marriage law in Britain.
