Today the same relationship is not even illegal. Covering the period 1680-1940, this book analyses both incest crimes and applications for dispensation to marry, revealing the norms underpinning Swedish society's shifting attitudes to incestuous relations and comparing them with developments in other European countries. It demonstrates that, even though the debate on incest has been dominated by religious, moral, and - in due course - medical notions, the values that actually determined the outcome of incest cases were frequently of quite a different character.-- Provided by publisher. 517 $aIncest in Sweden, 1680?1940 606 $aIncest 615 0$aIncest. 676 $a362.7044 700 $aClementsson$b Bonnie$01354643 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477104903321 996 $aIncest in Sweden, 1680-1940$93348997 997 $aUNINA
