Description

This groundbreaking study is the first comprehensive exploration of illegitimacy in Wales during the eighteenth century, drawing on previously overlooked archival sources to examine the scope and context of Welsh illegitimacy across the period c. 1680-1800. The book investigates the intricate connections between illegitimacy, courtship, and economic precarity, moving beyond conventional courtship narratives to explore the diverse identities and relationships of mothers and fathers of illegitimate children in Wales. Through demographic, social and cultural historical analysis, it reconstructs the lived experiences of conception, pregnancy and childbirth for unmarried mothers, offering new insights into family structures, social attitudes, and the everyday realities of those operating outside conventional marital frameworks in early modern Wales.

Key Features

Deviant Maternity provides the first dedicated historical account of Welsh illegitimacy spanning the period c. 1680-1800, filling a significant gap in regional family history scholarship.

The book combines demographic analysis with social and cultural history to examine how illegitimacy intersected with courtship practices and economic circumstances in Wales.

It offers detailed examination of the lived experiences of unmarried mothers, including conception, pregnancy, and childbirth, drawing on archival evidence previously overlooked by scholars.

The study reframes understanding of illegitimate families by exploring the identities and relationships of both mothers and fathers of illegitimate children within Welsh communities.
