Di che cosa tratta

Alcune riflessioni sul matrimonio (1700).

Contesto e storia

«Se tutti gli uomini nascono liberi, come mai tutte le donne nascono schiave?» La frase viene di qui, dalla terza edizione. Astell era tory e anglicana di alta chiesa, ed è proprio questo che rende mordente l'argomento: rivolta contro i suoi avversari whig il loro stesso linguaggio della libertà.

Contesto editoriale, non una fonte citabile: a differenza dei passi dell'opera, questi dati non si possono verificare sul corpus.
