Introduction: naturally bad or dangerously good: Romantic-period mothers 'on trial' -- Revolutions in mothering: theory and practice -- A love too thick: gothic mothers and monstrous sympathies -- The Irish wet nurse: Edgeworth's Ennui -- Infanticide in an age of enlightenment: Scott's The Heart of Midlothian -- The case of the Shelleys: maternal sympathy and The Cenci post script.

Summary: Julie Kipp examines Romantic writers' treatments of motherhood and maternal bodies in the context of the legal, medical, educational, and socioeconomic debates about motherhood so popular during the period. She argues that these discussions turned the physical processes associated with mothering into matters of national importance.
