Book Synopsis
The baby abandoned on the doorstep is a phenomenon that has virtually disappeared from our experience, but in the early modern world, unwanted children were a very real problem for parents, government officials, and society. This work recreates sixteenth-century Nuremberg to explore what befell abandoned, neglected, abused, or delinquent children.
