About this book
In a time marked by social upheaval and the blossoming of humanist thought, "The Pain and Sorrow of Evil Marriage" by Wynkyn de Worde emerges as a sharp critique of marital conventions. This early 16th-century poetic tract employs irony and satire to illuminate the tumultuous dynamics of relationships, revealing the often-unspoken struggles that accompany the institution of marriage. Through its clever verses, de Worde addresses the societal expectations placed upon couples, highlighting themes of fidelity and personal freedom. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work offers a unique lens on the complexities of love and commitment, making it a vital addition to discussions on gender and societal norms in the Renaissance era.
