Rezensionen
"Anne-Marie Kilday in her book ... offers a rich, thorough and nuanced history of this crime. ... this book provides a comprehensive account of the phenomenon of infanticide in Britain, being the first to include a wholly integrated approach by incorporating both the English and Welsh, and the Scottish perspectives. ... it is an ambitious and important contribution to the existing scholarship. ... also provides a useful starting point for further research on this subject from a more contemporary perspective."
