Beschreibung:
Ginger Frost is University Research Professor of History at Samford University
Unlike most other studies of illegitimacy, Frost's book concentrates on the late-Victorian period and the early twentieth century, and takes the child's point of view rather than that of the mother or of 'child-saving' groups.
