Informal Marriages in Early Modern Venice

By Jana Byars

Conditions of the marriage market, the sexual culture of Venice, and family needs created social tensions. This book explores a family model that soothed these tensions. Long-term, stable, non-marital relationships were common, and the community regularly accepted concubinaries, concubinal relationships, and the offspring concubinage produced.
