Interactions between age groups were central to major social and
cultural developments in eighteenth-century England, and this book
serves as a powerful reminder that people lived through not in the
past. This book explores the links between age relations and
cultural change, using an innovative analytical framework to map
the incremental and contingent process of generational transition
in eighteenth-century England. The study reveals how attitudes
towards age were transformed alongside perceptions of gender, rank
and place. It also exposes how shifting age relations affected
concepts of authenticity, nationhood, patriarchy, domesticity and
progress. The eighteenth century is not generally associated with
the formation of distinct generations. This book, therefore, charts
new territory as an age cohort in Newcastle upon Tyne is followed
from infancy to early adulthood,using their experiences to
illuminate a national, and ultimately imperial, pattern of change.
The chapters begin in the nurseries and schoolrooms in which
formative years were spent and then traverse the volatile terrain
of adolescence, before turning to the adult world of fashion and
politics. This investigation uncovers the roots of a generational
divide that spilled into the political arena during the
parliamentary election of 1774. But more than that,it demonstrates
that the interactions between age groups were central to major
social and cultural developments in the eighteenth century and
serves as a powerful reminder of the need to recognise that people
lived through not in the past.
