Luke Taylor considers the intersecting intellectual and institutional forces that contributed to the dissolution of the household, the establishment of separate spheres of work and family, and the emergence of modern legal and social ideas concerning work and family. He shows how specific legal-institutional moves contributed to the creation of the family\u0026amp;#x2019;s categorical status in the social and legal order and a distinct and exceptional body of rules – Family Law – for its governance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShedding light on the historical processes that contributed to the emergence of English Family Law, \u003ci\u003eConstructing the Family\u003c\/i\u003e shows how work and family became separate regulatory domains, and in so doing reveals the contingent nature of the modern legal family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Ideology and Population Management \u003cbr\u003eA.
