Linda Lewin Surprise Heirs I Hardcover sku-24756598
No rating yet(0 ratings)In Surprise Heirs I, Linda Lewin examines how inheritance rules applied to children born outside wedlock in Brazil under Luso-Brazilian heirship during the final half century of Portuguese colonial rule. Covering 1750 to 1821, the hardcover draws on legal history and research into family life after 1750.
It discusses customary marriage, consensual cohabitation, clerical concubinage, concealed paternity and foundling wheels in relation to Latin American social organization. Lewin argues that Portuguese legal nationalism changed the legal meaning of bastardy through reforms to family and inheritance law, anticipating the "surprise heir" later prominent in imperial Brazil's courts and novels.
