This lecture will examine the set of ideas surrounding pregnancy in the late 18th and early 19th century.
Jane Austen is not usually thought of as a writer who deals with pregnancy, but the subject does surface - significantly - in 'Sense and Sensibility'. There was a belief that emotions and impressions of the mother could affect the health and even the appearance of the unborn child. The theme of the over susceptible mother is a recurring one in women's fiction of the period.
