Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A sociocultural analysis of the relationships among law, religion, and sexual morality in Burgundy during the Catholic Reformation, this book is divided into two, interrelated parts: the world of prescription and the world of practice. The first part examines the construction of authority, focusing primarily upon Burgundy's dominant elite legal community. The second part of the book examines the deployment of authority, and its appropriation by French men and women.The new moral order focused on sexuality and the imposition of this order involved a legal contest over the disposition of bodies, both male and female, be they priests, courting couples, victims ofseduction or rape, or prostitutes. James Farr's book offers an unusually fertile approach to study the link between sexuality and criminality. Through the prism of sexuality the author makes a convincing case that in the aftermath of the French religious wars, French authorities sought to create a new order in which prescriptions and the disposition of the body worked to discipline and rein individuals within a variety of institutions ranging from the family to the church.
