This comprehensive book delves into the rich and diverse history of stepfamilies in Europe and its overseas territories from 1550 to 1900. It offers a multi-faceted perspective on the evolving dynamics within these families, encompassing various life stages and relationships. From the half-orphans and illegitimate children who encountered the arrival of a stepparent to the shifting and transforming dynamics between parents, children, and step or half-siblings as they navigated living arrangements, mobility, and transitions to towns and overseas, the chapters provide a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies of stepfamilies.
To provide a historical backdrop, several chapters focus on historical demography, shedding light on the prevalence and types of stepfamilies in Western and East Central Europe. These include father-stepmother couples, mother-stepfather unions, and parents with illegitimate children. The book also delves into other themes such as the impact of parental loss on child survival, the influence of stepparents on a child's well-being through caregiving and contributions to the household economy, the emotional bonds forged through letters and gift-giving, the occurrence of step-relatives marrying their close kin, and the role of property and inheritance regimes in shaping stepfamily patterns.
This book will be of immense interest to researchers and students specializing in the history of family, marriage, and society. Its rich content and insightful analysis offer valuable insights into the complex and ever-changing nature of stepfamilies throughout history.
