What is Siblinghood and Social Relations in Georgian England : Share and Share Alike about?

This book examines the impact sisters and brothers had on eighteenth-century English families and society. Using evidence from letters, diaries, probate disputes, court transcripts, prescriptive literature and portraiture, it argues that although parents' wills often recommended their children 'share and share alike', siblings had to constantly negotiate between prescribed equality and practiced inequalities. Siblinghood and social relations in Georgian England, which will be the first monograph-length analysis of early modern siblings in England, is primed to be at the forefront of sibling studies. The book is intended for a broad audience of scholars - particularly those interested in families, women, children and eighteenth-century social and cultural history. ** Siblinghood and social relations in Georgian England: Share and share alike 1 Half Title Page 2 Title Page 4 Copyright 5 Dedication 6 Contents 8 Abbreviations 9 List of figures 10 List of tables 11 Preface and acknowledgements 12 Explanatory note on dates, ages, and names 16 Introduction 18 Chapter 1: Learning to be a sibling 43 Chapter 2: Ties that bound 72 Chapter 3: Ties that cut 97 Chapter 4: Sibling economics 129 C
