legallois's review against another edition

4.0
Very interesting overview of bastardy in 18th Century England and some good studies into literature of the time. Particularly enjoyed the studies of 'The beggar girl and her benefactors', 'Emma' and 'Evelina'.

Some points made were a little repetitive and the academic writing style wasn't the easiest to read. Still recommend it highly.
