Why did clergymen marry? What did a wife offer them in serving their parishes? Why on earth would Charlotte Lucas marry Mr Collins? Answers to these questions, & much more, at this talk using the @thejohnrylands.bsky.social collections with curator Paul Carlyle. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/clerical-c...

A book on the materiality of men's lives 1660-1832 covering the significant changes in what it meant to be a man & what it meant to own 'things' during the time. Thanks to follow below:
