Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest
and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an
overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early
modern times too there were close emotional relations between
parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate
conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned
themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the
other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these
relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how
easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty
interpretations - caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the
Middle Ages in particular - to lead to the view that in the past
children were regarded as small adults. The contributors
demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings - admittedly often
different in nature - shaped the relationship between adults and
children.
