Today the same relationship is not even illegal. Covering the period 16801940, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925105361054,"sku":"ING-9789198469905","price":55.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9789198469905.jpg?v=1782959653","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9789198469905","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
