Williams, Samantha.

Unmarried motherhood in the metropolis, 1700-1850pregnancy, the poor law and provision /[electronic resource] :by Samantha Williams. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xv, 270 p. :ill., digital ;22 cm.

1. Introduction: illegitimacy in London -- 2. Shame -- 3. Pregnant and birthing bodies -- 4. The workhouse -- 5. Maintenance -- 6. Punishment -- 7. Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.

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. In doing so, she explores the experience of being an unmarried mother from courtship and conception, through the discovery of pregnancy, and the birth of the child in lodgings or one of the new parish workhouses. Although fathers were generally held to be financially responsible for their illegitimate children, the recovery of these costs was particularly low in London, leaving the parish ratepayers to meet the cost. Unmarried parenthood was associated with shame and men and women could also be subject to punishment, although this was generally infrequent in the capital. Illegitimacy and the poor law were interdependent and this book charts the experience of unmarried motherhood and the making of metropolitan bastardy.
