Summary
Details

What happens when a child dies? How does society treat parents after they have lost a child?

Was death any different in the Victorian era than in today's world? This thoughtful analysis examines child death in Victorian Scotland.

Questions around money, child safety, class prejudices, and societal shortcomings are examined here in depth, focusing on wide-ranging historical and literary primary sources such as Scottish folktales, children's diaries, novels, and newspapers. This book provides some excellent insights into Scottish culture and life during the nineteenth century, looking at how parents dealt with profound loss, and at the society which shaped them.
