Presenting his argument in a lucid and engaging style, Barahona explores the litigation of honour and dishonour by female victims of seduction. He successfully demonstrates that - in this region and era - female honour lost through sexual transgression could be redeemed through recourse to the law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from records of over 350 lawsuits, which took place between 1500 and 1750 (all primary sources, and all previously unpublished), Barahona offers new insights into the role of the secular courts in serving the interests of women. He does much to broaden our understanding of courtship, sexual practices, sexual vocabulary, marriage customs, cohabitation and violence against women. \u003ci\u003eSex Crimes, Honour, and the Law in Early Modern Spain\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by students and scholars in the areas of social history, women's studies, law and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renato Barahona\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802036945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802036940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.36w x 1.09d","brand":"Renato Barahona","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453391352063,"sku":"9780802036940","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be11f65a-ae14-4167-b735-78207ba7e9fa.jpg?v=1777299998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-crimes-honour-and-the-renato-barahona-9780802036940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
