Implementation of Virtual Antenatal and Postnatal Urgent Midwifery Visits
Women seeking care during the perinatal period often face delays or long waits at healthcare facilities due to lack of providers and/or resources, leading to sub-optimal outcomes. We implemented a program whereby patients with concerns could receive same-day care virtually from a midwife rather than presenting to the clinic or hospital for care. Implementation strategies included virtual training, a staged increase in patient volume, and frequent…

Marital cruelty
The mid-eighteenth century is seen as a turning point after which English legal and lay attitudes to cruelty expanded from life-threatening violence to include a wider range of behaviours. This article reconsiders this chronology of changing ideas about marital cruelty. It follows the lead of recent scholarship that challenges the thesis of a ‘civilising’ process in attitudes towards state-violence and inter-personal violence and draws on new con…
Victorian Women, Unwed Mothers and the London Foundling Hospital
Lone motherhood in the past is under-studied, but what we know is that most lone mothers encountered poverty, punishment and prejudice. As a result many chose from an extremely limited range of opt
Paternal power
Historical and literary studies have identified shifts in paternal power in Britain from authoritative and patriarchal to benign and affectionate during the long eighteenth century. This article re-examines the power of fathers through the prism of paternal indulgence with insights gained from histories of masculinities. Historians have mostly commented upon the association between indulgence and mothering, drawing particular attention to contemp…

Think Wot a Mother Must Feel”
This article examines the representation of parenting in a series of pauper letters received by parishes in Berkshire, Hampshire, Lancashire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, and Staffordshire. It shows that labouring parents saw themselves as thwarted providers for their children and argues that this was not a gender-specific role, but one shared by fathers and mothers. Through a close reading of the descriptive terms used to illustrat…
A Very Sensible Man’
Fathers are at once everywhere and nowhere in the historiography of eighteenth‐century England. They interact with children in family history, bear authority in histories of women, gender and marriage, use the role to demonstrate virility, and the capacity for household mastery and citizenship in the history of masculinity, and are metaphors in political culture. Yet there is little sustained work on what constituted the key attributes of fatherh…
The ‘‘Afterlife’’ of Parenting
Remembering parentage and parents in life writings in Britain c. 1760—1830 served four functions. First, recounting parentage enabled the writer to situate himself or herself in terms of social status, personal value, and worth. Second, memories of parents helped an individual understand and make meaning of the path his or her life had taken. Third, the process was bound up with a range of emotions, which gave parents power after childhood and ha…

Favoured or oppressed? Married women, property and ‘coverture’ in England, 1660–1800
In the eighteenth century, the condition of English wives under ‘coverture’ was both defended as one of privilege and attacked as worse than slavery. This article suggests that married women were not in reality confined within coverture's regulations on credit and property ownership. Their economic activities were fairly broad and flexible and they had an instinctive sense of possession over some goods during wedlock, perceiving their contributio…
Voices in court
Written records of litigation lie at the heart of numerous studies of English society and culture. Although some documents appear to demonstrate individuality, historians advise that they be used cautiously since the words of litigants and deponents were filtered through the legal profession. This article uncovers the process of mediation by exploring the interaction between litigants and their legal advisers, using correspondence received by chu…
