"This book is a focused investigation of illegitimacy in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British history. It draws together innovative research by both new and established specialists in the field, covering a wide range of geographical locales. Its contributors use an eclectic range of sources to subject commonly accepted themes to rigorous investigation, including: survival strategies of unmarried mothers; social attitudes towards bastardy; the paternity of illegitimate children; the mortality penalty of illegitimacy; and the existence of a bastardy prone sub-society. It will be of great interest to all those who study the history of the family, sexuality, welfare poverty, social policy and the economic, social, and cultural history of Britain more generally."—Jacket.
