| Whether the engagement has to do with lost histories, destroyed heritages, of the uneasy cohabitations of contemporary culture. A study of London's Old Bailey records in the eighteenth century suggested that they did not represent "the most extreme forms of casual cohabitations and clandestine unions," and Rogers found that although, at one stage, 18 percent "of cohabitations were with soldiers," that percentage conformed with the level of "informal consensual unions" among the "lower classes" overall.
