The author analyzes the nature of child-rearing in
eighteenth-century Poland and its linkage to the reform movements
that swept the country after the first partition in 1772. She finds
that family behavior cannot be separated from politics in Polish
society: in fact, education and child-rearing were major issues in
the reform movement of the 1770s. Lorence-Kot shows where Poland
lagged behind Western Europe, and how various reformers proposed to
advance Polish society through new methods of raising children in
the upper classes. The resistant attitudes of Polish parents are
examined in detail, as are their attitudes toward their children,
corporal punishment, schooling, and other child-related issues. The
author explores the push for a wholesale adoption of French models
of child-care and education, as well as the later reforms which met
with the modern demands of European society.
