The seven pamphlets in this edition focus on the bigamy trial of Mary Carleton, in which the accused eloquently defends herself and is ultimately acquitted. Written in the early years of the English Restoration, they demonstrate that narratives presenting what \"she said\" and what \"he said\" can reveal, forcefully and painfully, how truth can be fragmented in the different arenas of law, love, and politics. Through their disparate accounts of a marriage gone wrong, these pamphlets reinforce the social status quo even while they radically shatter the very foundations that give it heft. In asking readers to question absolutes, they unmask the precarious relationship between words and the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Carleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164959075X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649590756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Mary Carleton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073917055231,"sku":"9781649590756","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50918a46-4a93-4ab7-b0ac-954d0cfef05b.jpg?v=1685450683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carleton-bigamy-trial-mary-carleton-9781649590756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
