This book has three key aims: first, to show how the legal
treatment of cohabiting couples has changed over the past four
centuries, from punishment as fornicators in the seventeenth
century to eventual acceptance as family in the late twentieth;
second, to chart how the language used to refer to cohabitation has
changed over time and how different terms influenced policy debates
and public perceptions; and, third, to estimate the extent of
cohabitation in earlier centuries. To achieve this it draws on
hundreds of reported and unreported cases as well as legislation,
policy papers and debates in Parliament; thousands of newspaper
reports and magazine articles; and innovative cohort studies that
provide new and more reliable evidence as to the incidence (or
rather the rarity) of cohabitation in eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century England. It concludes with a consideration of
the relationship between legal regulation and social trends.
