Bastards
Opis
"Impressive first monograph Gerber's work is a good example of the 'new' legal history. His work makes a valuable contribution to ongoing scholarly debates regarding law, family, and the early modern state." --American Historical Review
"Gerber provides a complex, compelling account of legal and social change surrounding illegitimacy in early modern France...[A] sophisticated, significant work...Highly recommended." --CHOICE
"In this formidable study, Matthew Gerber traces the legal transformation of a social category in early modern France--the children born out of wedlock, or 'bastards, ' whose legal disabilities were inborn and rights hedged. He shows how the interactive social demands and legal actions in the greater legal community reconfigured the way 'extra-marital' children born to a parent, or parents, determined to claim them were related to expanding notions of familial norms and developing state concerns for child welfare." -Sarah Hanley, University of Iowa
"Matthew Gerber combines dazzling erudition and great ambition to produce a pioneering political history of the early modern family and a persuasively sophisticated reinterpretation of the early modern legal system." --Julie Hardwick, author of Family Business: Litigation and the Political Economiesof Daily Life in Early Modern France
"Demonstrating profound expertise in early modern law, Matthew Gerber offers a highly original and much needed history of illegitimacy in Old Regime France. Bastards moves deftly between families, law, and politics to rethink family-state relations in the absolutist era."-Suzanne Desan, author of The Family on Trial in Revolutionary France
