Hampshire's Gypsy Rehabilitation Centres
Through examination of a 'Gypsy rehabilitation' scheme in 1960s Hampshire, this article explores the position of England's hereditary nomads at the height of Britain's interventionist welfare state. We show how, while the scheme's focus on enforced settlement appeared specific to Gypsies, it formed part of a spectrum of assimilatory methods used against other non-conforming groups. Equally, in the scheme's collapse in the 1970s, we see echoes of …
What field? Where? Bringing Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History into View
This historiographical article aims to do three things. First, to construct a working overview of historical and aligned scholarship focussed on the history of Britain’s Gypsy and Traveller populations, to give non-specialists an understanding of the key pieces of scholarship and debates within the field. Second, to argue that it is not sufficient for these histories to remain only a concern of ‘Romani’ scholars, and so exist largely separate fro…
Detective Fictions
This article examines a series of investigations into the activities of women engaged in the provision of paid childcare and collectively labelled with the term ‘baby-farmer’. This paper looks at the practice of writers representing themselves as ‘baby-farming detectives’. Along with exploring the use of the detective investigation as a stylistic device, it will contend that the strictures it imposed informed the relationship these writers have w…

In her book Somebody's Children Laura Briggs examines the growth of transracial and transnational adoption in the United States since 1945 and challenges dominant understandings of these practices
Green Boots’ Cave’
The short story ‘Green Boots’ Cave’ introduces an inexplicable phenomenon – that one might experience the events of an entire lifetime within a few moments – and plays this idea against recognizable, ‘real’ historical events. It follows Todorov’s notion of the process of reader adaptation to the inexplicable (as opposed to hesitation), described in The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre

‘What else could I do?’ Single Mothers and Infanticide, Ireland 1900–1950 joins a literature that attempts to analyse the experience of unmarried motherhood in early twentieth-century Ireland. Whil
The Representation of 'Baby-Farmers' in the Scottish City, 1867-1908
This article explores the manner in which women who provided paid childcare in Scotland were represented and collectively labelled with the pejorative term ‘baby-farmer’ across a forty-year period. It seeks to link the figure of the ‘baby-farmer’ to a wider sphere of discourses and moral frameworks than previously attempted, drawing parallels with other women engaged in processes of semi-public exchange. In so doing the article suggests a more co…
