AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An English specialist advises an Irish woman whose mother had recurring fits of madness, during one of which she killed her young son, that she should not marry. Accordingly, without disclosing the reasons, she refuses her lover 'bravely' and self-sacrificingly. 'Good Woman' tale, with some sense of the agony. (Oh for contraception!) Advice very limited. Slight. (PB)
