Unmarried Motherhood in the Metropolis, 1700-1850

In this book Samantha Williams examines illegitimacy, unmarried parenthood and the old and new poor laws in a period of rising illegitimacy and poor relief expenditure. Illegitimacy and the poor law were interdependent and this book charts the experience of unmarried motherhood and the making of metropolitan bastardy.

In aceasta carte, Samantha Williams examineaza nelegitimitatea, parinta necasatorita si vechile si noile legi sarace intr-o perioada de nelegitimitate in crestere si cheltuieli de ajutor slabe. Ilegitimitatea si legea saraca erau interdependente si aceasta carte prezinta experienta maternitatii necasatorite si realizarea bastardiei metropolitane.
