First published in 1978, this multi-disciplinary study embraces a
wide selection of topics ranging from family intimacy and
authoritarianism to the family as a unit for launching social
reforms. Subjects treated in the nine essays include the Victorian
attitude to childbirth, the role of the nanny, the power of the
upper-class paterfamilias, the pattern of family work and
fertility, and incest among the Victorian working classes. The book
is introduced by a critical survey of the state of family history
and the need for new studies. From the essays, the Victorian family
emerges as both a refuge from society and a springboard into it,
and as an important unit for the study of the repression and
exploitation of women and children in Victorian society. This book
will be of interest to those studying Victorian history and
society.
