About this product

Product Information

In the nineteenth century, a woman who could prove a man had broken his promise to marry her was legally entitled to compensation for damages. Bridging the gap between history and literature, Ginger S. Frost offers an in-depth examination of these breaches of promise and compares actual with fictional cases. Althought the most important factor in determining the outcome of such trials was gender, class was also vital in assessing the suitability of mates. Promises Broken highlights the courtship practices of lower- and middle- class Victorians, a group much neglected in previous scholarship.

    All above excellent, well packaged, shipped quickly and a quick read because of excellent writing style and very interesting events in Turner's life. He was a fascinating person, and his biographer did an excellent job of sharing his knowledge of Turner's abilities and shortcomings. I liked it, am keeping the copy, and would purchase from this seller in the future. A+ in every way.
