Description

Explore a detailed historical study of infanticide in Great Britain from 1800 to 1939. Originally published in 1986, Massacre of the Innocents provides a deep look into the social and economic pressures that shaped Victorian Britain. Lionel Rose examines the high tide of infanticide, investigating how unwanted or surplus infants were disposed of during a time when contraception was not widely available and abortion carried extreme risks. This Routledge Library Edition explores the covert criminal and sub-criminal methods used by women to manage unwanted pregnancies. The text covers the activities of infanticidal and abortionist midwives, offering a scholarly perspective on the consequences of these practices. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of crime and punishment, social history, or the legal evolution of reproductive issues in the United Kingdom.
