This multi-disciplinary collection brings together work by scholars
from Britain, America and Canada on the popular, personal and
institutional histories of pregnancy. It follows the process of
reproduction from conception and contraception, to birth and
parenthood. The contributors explore several key themes: narratives
of pregnancy and birth, the patient-consumer, and literary
representations of childbearing. This book explores how these
issues have been constructed, represented and experienced in a
range of geographical locations from the seventeenth to the
twentieth century. Crossing the boundary between the pre-modern and
modern worlds, the chapters reveal the continuities, similarities
and differences in understanding a process that is often, in the
popular mind-set, considered to be fundamental and unchanging.
