The history of the family lies at the heart of the 'new social
history' which has, over recent years, shifted the
historiographical focus from political history and elites to the
changing life experience of ordinary people. Blending research
techniques drawn from the social sciences with perspectives
provided by developments in cultural and gender history and the
history of sexuality, leading scholars provide a definitive picture
of the nature of family life in Europe and the forces that have
shaped it. The second volume in this three-volume series takes the
story from the French Revolution to the First World War, a period
in which Europe was transformed politically and economically, and
traces the emergence of the modern family. Industrialization, new
technology, the growth of cities, the revolution in transport and
communication: what effect did these changes have on the day-to-day
life of ordinary people? And how did the family, the vital social
unit which determined not only how and where people lived, but
often where they worked, adapt to the demands of the new economy?In
a stimulating introduction the editors explore these questions and
show how and why family life changed in the nineteenth century, and
how and why family life varied in different parts of Europe. David
I. Kertzer is Paul Dupee University Professor of Social Science and
Professor of Anthropology and History at Brown University. Marzio
Barbagli is Professor of Sociology at the University of Bologna.
