-* In Harris' introduction she refers to Stretton (1998) and Erickson (XXXX), who she describes as exploring the lives of women from "the middling ranks" in the late C16th and early C17th, but suggests that her own work is unique in its focus on women from knightly and noble families, "whose activities had political, as well as familial significance."

 * This jars with her subsequent reference to the rich literature of the last thirty years dealing with elite medieval and early modern English women, and the positioning of herself between two methodological and interpretive poles - at the one end, scholars focusing on aristocratic womens' contributions to their families and involvement in political, religious and social life (e.g., Nancy Roelker, Retha Warnicke, John King, Caroline Hibbard, Jennifer Ward, Magdalena Sanchez), with biographies and biographical essays contributing to this approach; and at the other end, scholars emphasising "the intensity of female subordination and the narrow scope of women's experience" (e.g., Sarah Hanley, Christine Klapisch-Zuber) (Harris, 2002:14).
-* Harris positions herself between these two poles as she describes them, emphasising agency but also patriachal structural constraints (Harris, 2002:15).  Her methodology is based upon a large scale statistical and qualitative analysis, using over a 1,000 PRC wills, over 1,000 letters, 551 cases in Chancery, Star Chamber, and the Court of Requests, and smaller numbers of marriage contracts, household and estate accounts, crown grants, private bilsl, and inventories.  In addition she had a genealogical database of 1200 aristocratic couples and children (Harris, 2002:16).
