This book explores how families of the early modern age in Italy,
France and England adopted a system of selective infanticide to
manage food and economic resources avoiding the creation of
problematic situations for the survival of the family. Providing
students and researcher of early modern history with a new take on
the history of the family to inform their studies. The book is
based on careful transcription of a wide array of documents,
including hundreds of criminal cases, thousands of instances of
civil litigation and claims of property damage, baptism records, a
complete set of village assembly records and attendant tax
assessments. Enabling students and researchers to see how these
legal and economic records can expand their knowledge of social
history and the period more broadly. Death Control in the West
provides students and researchers interested in the demographic
mechanisms of the age and for the study of social and family
relationships in early modern Europe with the tools to undertake
their own research and form their own conclusions about the
prolificity of infanticide in early modern Europe.
