Description
Early Modern Childhood: An Introduction explores the complex and multifaceted nature of childhood in the early modern period. Drawing on recent historical research, this book challenges traditional views of childhood during this time, revealing a more nuanced understanding of how children were viewed and experienced.
The book is divided into five parts, each addressing a different stage of childhood, from infancy to youth, and explores themes such as household life, education, religion, and social relationships. By bringing together the work of historians, art historians, and literary scholars, Early Modern Childhood provides a comprehensive understanding of how childhood was perceived and lived during this period.
With its broad and varied approach, this book is an ideal resource for students of early modern family history, early modern childhood studies, and early modern gender history. It offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of our understanding of the early modern child, making it a valuable addition to any academic or research library.
