Infant Mortality and Working-Class Child Care, 1850-1899 unlocks
the hidden history of working-class child care during the second
half of the nineteenth century, seeking to challenge those
historians who have cast working-class women as feckless and
maternally ignorant. By plotting the lives of northern women whilst
they grappled with industrial waged work in the factory, in
agriculture, in nail making, and in brick and salt works, this book
reveals a different picture of northern childcare, one which points
to innovative and enterprising child care models. Attention is also
given to day-carers as they acted in loco parentis and the
workhouse nurse who worked in conjunction with medical paediatrics
to provide nineteenth-century welfare to pauper infants. Through
the use of a new and wide range of source material, which includes
medical and poor law history, Melanie Reynolds allows a fresh and
new perspective of working-class child care to arise.
