Description

Explore a groundbreaking historical study with Deviant Maternity: Illegitimacy in Wales, c. 1680-1800. As the first book to investigate illegitimacy in eighteenth-century Wales, this work utilizes previously overlooked archival sources to provide a deep look into the social landscape of the era. This research examines the connection between illegitimacy, courtship, and economic precarity. It moves beyond simple demographics to investigate the diverse identities and relationships of both mothers and fathers. Readers will gain insight into the lived experiences of unmarried mothers, including the realities of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. By combining demographic, social, and cultural history, this Routledge Research in Gender and History volume reframes how we understand the history of family and illegitimacy in Wales. It is an essential resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the social evolution of gender and family structures during this period.
