A comment on Payling's 'Economics of marriage
Child Custody and the Decline of Women's Rights
Wright's article has two themes running through it: a discussion of the meaning of De Manneville and a history of custody in England from medieval times onward set against historians' theories of family development. Comment on her article then is best divided into two parts. I begin with her wide-ranging history, for here she makes an indisputable contribution to women's history that needs only notice and emphasis
Businessmen and Landowners Re-engaged
In his latest work on the relations-or on the non-relations-between businessmen and landowners, Professor W. D. Rubinstein has challenged his critics to prove him wrong. Accordingly, this article analyses the statistical arguments in Rubinstein's work, and shows that they do not prove what they are claimed to prove. In the course of its analysis the article undertakes to explore the problem inherent in using the probate accounts to discuss the pu…
Debt and the English Aristocracy
This article analyses a long debate on the subject of aristocratic debt, showing that in the course of discussion ideas gained currency that are much to be questioned. The debate originated in a thesis put forward by David Spring that English landowners were heavily indebted in the early years of the nineteenth century, and that their indebtedness subsequently was reduced through the effects of the industrial revolution and the growth of evangeli…

Law, Land, and Family
The Heiress-at-Law
By the common law rules of inheritance women in English landed society fell into two classes. Some were altogether excluded from inheriting; others were entitled to succeed to the family estate. The woman thus entitled, the heiress-at-law, is clearly a figure due historical attention. Yet she has never been singled out for long-term consideration. Where she has been the main subject, discussion has always been chronologically limited, and her his…
The strict settlement
Social Mobility and the English Landed Elite
Law and the Theory of the Affective Family
In his seminal work, The Family, Sex, and Marriage in England 1500-1800 , Lawrence Stone cites legal change as part of the evidence for his claim that a new sort of family marked the eighteenth century. Property law especially is pointed to as proof that the patriarchal family had given way to what has come to be known as the affective family. It was, of course, natural to seek a basis in law for a theory of family development. Law at any time te…
