Description
Tudor Children: A Social History of Childhood in Tudor England By Nicholas Orme, Yale University Press This beautifully illustrated and lively account explores childhood in Tudor England, from birth to adolescence. Orme examines the games children played, such as Blind Man's Bluff and Mumble-the-Peg, and the songs they sang, like "Three Blind Mice" and "Jack Boy, Ho Boy." He shows how social status influenced every aspect of a child's life, including their food, clothes, education, and work. Childhood in Tudor England was both challenging and treasured. Orme reveals that despite the dangers and hardships, it was also a time of learning and development. By looking at the lives of Tudor children, we can gain a deeper understanding of this period. Through his engaging narrative, Nicholas Orme provides a rich survey of childhood in Tudor England, shedding new light on an often-overlooked aspect of history.
