Description

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.

In The Unwanted Child, Joel F. Harrington skillfully recreates sixteenth-century Nuremberg to explore what befell abandoned children in this period in vivid detail.

From the harrowing to the inspiring, this critically acclaimed text paints a gripping picture of life on the streets five centuries ago.
