Description
This detailed study of Dutch gentry families affords many valuable historical insights and challenges current assumptions about the nature of family life during the early modern period. Marshall offers an in-depth portrait of the Dutch gentry, their family organization and relationships, and the role of lineage, religion, law, and custom, economics, and politics in their daily lives.
