Sinopsis

This book explores the various facets of the relationship between a wife and her husband in the 17th century. The author, through a dialogue between an unmarried woman and a newly married one, analyzes the 'duties' inherent to a woman within marriage. This includes obedience, domesticity, and chastity. Within its broader historical context, the book offers a glimpse into the societal expectations of women during the 17th century and the challenges they faced in navigating their roles as wives. It also delves into the power dynamics within marriage and the idea of love and affection as a foundation for marital harmony. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of marriage in its historical context and the insights it offers remain relevant to the understanding of gender roles and societal expectations today.

Excerpt from The Bride, Vol. 8: Reprinted for the First Time From a Copy of the Original Edition of 1617 in the Library of Harvard College

The copy is perfect, except that the inner corner at the top of the second and third leaves has been torn off, with the loss of parts of two words, which have been supplied in manuscript. From this copy the present reprint is made. As in the Hunterian Club edition of Rowlands's Works, to which this may be considered a supplement, the reprint is exact. The general make-up of the book as to style and size of type has been followed as closely as possible; and the text has been reproduced page for page and word for word. The misprints, which are unusually numerous, even for a book of this period, have been left uncorrected. The title-page and the two head-pieces have been reproduced by photography.

Of the poem itself, since it is now before the reader, little need be said. It cannot be claimed that it presents great poetical merit. Rowlands at his best was but an indifferent poet, - hardly more than a penny-a-liner. In his satirical pieces and epigrams, and in that bit of genuine comedy, "Tis Merrie when Gossips meete," his work does have a real literary value, and is distinctly interesting as presenting a vivid picture of London life at the beginning of the seventeenth century. In "The Bride," it must be confessed, Rowlands falls below his own best work.
