- This book (158 pages) includes an edited and annotated autobiography of a hitherto fore unknown early modern woman (50 pages) describing domestic abuse and the repercussions of this. Four chapters interpret and investigate this autobiography from a variety of perspectives including cultural views of early modern marriage, women and the legal system, and narrative reliability using competing versions of Hampson’s story found in court depositions, letters and other pamphlets. An appendix of six letters, edited and annotated is also included. Extensive archival research was undertaken for this book, with over 100 primary sources consulted.
