Description

Explore the legal and social consequences of growing up illegitimate in England and Wales between 1860 and 1930. This book examines a transition period between Victorian respectability and the modern era of tolerance. By focusing on the child's point of view rather than the mother's or society's, this work provides new insights into childhood studies, social history, family history, and the law. During this era, England maintained some of the harshest illegitimacy laws in Europe. A child born to unwed parents was considered filis nullius, or no one's child. Even if the parents married later, the child did not achieve legitimacy under the law. This text offers a unique perspective on how these legal structures shaped the lives of children during a period of significant social change.
