Due to high adult mortality and the custom of remarriage,
stepfamilies were a common phenomenon in pre-industrial Europe.
Focusing on East Central Europe, a neglected area of western
historiography, this book draws essential comparisons in terms of
remarriage patterns and stepfamily life with Northwestern Europe.
Why were women in the 'east' more ready to remarry? What were the
responsibilities of a stepfather or a stepmother? By drawing on
quantitative as well as qualitative approaches, the book offers an
historical demographical narrative of the frequency of stepfamilies
in a comparative framework, and also assesses the impact of
stepparents on the mortality and career prospects of their
stepchildren. The ethnic and religious diversity of East Central
Europe also allows for distinctions and comparisons to be made
within the region. Remarriage and Stepfamilies in East Central
Europe, 1600-1900 will appeal to researchers and students alike
interested in the history of family, marriage, and society in East
Central Europe.
