- This 274-page single-authored monograph is the first to explore illegitimacy in Wales during the eighteenth century and represents research that took place over five years. It draws extensively on previously overlooked archival sources from 10 local and national repositories, including over 130,000 baptisms, and over 200 criminal court cases. The book combines demographic, social and cultural history approaches, and reframes the study of illegitimacy by going beyond 'courtship' to consider the identities and relationships of the parents of illegitimate children, and the lived experience of conception, pregnancy and childbirth for unmarried mothers.
