Seller's Description:
First edition. xviii+227 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in like dustjacket. Demographic research demonstrates that economic factors alone do not shape patterns of marriage, childbearing and mortality. Kevin McQuillan believes that the Alsatian case demonstrates the influence of religious identity. He focuses largely on the period from 1750 to 1870, but draws on historical material reaching back to the Reformation. He analyses demographic patterns using the technique of famliy reconstitution. The quality of the underlying sources allows a thorough discussion of marriage patterns, childbearing and infant mortality.
