Summary[edit]
| Description |
"The Neglected Daughter -- An Affecting Tale", a July 2nd 1804 colored engraving, showing a cautionary sentimentalized depiction of one of the worst-case scenarios for an unmarried girl or young woman who became pregnant (i.e. dying of homelessness after having been disowned by her family and abandoned by her seducer). The other main worst-case scenario -- being forced into prostitution -- didn't lend itself to such elegantly elevating verse as is included at the bottom of the print. The England of 1804 was in some ways less rigidly inflexible than it became later on (in the Victorian period), but there was still a rather strong sexual double standard, and a middle class never-married girl or young woman who gave birth to a child would generally find herself "excluded from polite society" (even if her family were somewhat forgiving and indulgent), unless perhaps if she retrieved her reputation partially by marrying. |
