Blood, Bodies and Families' presents an innovative series of
studies in the cultural and social history of early modern England.
The book includes key new research and previously published
influential studies. It includes studies of menstruation, sexual
knowledge, as well as of infants and maternity. Two new studies,
one about blood and paternity, the other about the sibling
relationship, and an Introduction extend our understanding of the
meanings of families for individuals in early modern times. A
sustained treatment of gender offers a new perspective on the
history of an individual family and the shaping of its history.
Blood, Bodies and FamiliesA draws upon original research in a
range of primary and secondary sources. The new studies, especially
the one on siblings, open up new areas for early modern history.
The Introduction relates these issues of family life to the present
and succeeds in being both highly topical and engagingly
personal.
This work is essential reading for students, teachers and
researchers in all areas of the history of the family and of early
modern history.
