Early Modern Childhood is a detailed and accessible introduction to
childhood in the early modern period, which guides students through
every part of childhood from infancy to youth and places the early
modern child within the broader social context of the period.
Drawing on the work of recent revisionist historians, the book
scrutinises traditional historiographical views of early modern
childhood, challenging the idea that the concept of 'childhood'
didn't exist in this period and that families avoided developing
strong affections for their children because of the high death
rate. Instead, this book reveals a more intricately detailed
character of the early modern child and how childhood was viewed
and experienced. Divided into five parts, it brings together the
work of historians, art historians and literary scholars to discuss
a variety of themes and questions surrounding each stage of
childhood, including the household, pregnancy, infancy, education,
religion, gender, illness and death. Chapters are also dedicated to
the topics of crime, illegitimacy and children's clothing,
providing a broad and varied lens through which to view this
subject. Exploring the evolution in understanding of the early
modern child, Early Modern Childhood is the ideal book for students
of the early modern family, early modern childhood and early modern
gender.
