lt;p>"Buckley's volume is a most welcome addition to the scholarship in the field, which tends to analyze pregnancy through the history of medicine ... . Buckley has done a splendid job recuperating the history of the maternal imagination in eighteenth-century Britain through its many lenses-medical, literary, social, and cultural-and through its many permutations."
