Birth, Marriage, and Death: Ritual, Religion, and the Life-Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England
Cressy, David (Professor of History, Professor of History, Ohio State University)
Using fascinating first-hand evidence, David Cressy describes the ritual performance of childbirth, baptism, courtship, weddings, and funerals in England from 1500-1700, and reveals how these activities changed in response to the Reformation, the Revolution, and the Restoration. The result is a vivid picture of the classic rites of passage in Tudor and Stuart England.
