The collection of ideas, values, and beliefs known as the
Enlightenment fundamentally altered the ways in which the family
was understood. During this period (1650-1800), traditional family
roles were rethought, questioning much which had been taken for
granted, such as the innate nature of children. At the same time,
the Enlightenment also reinforced many long-held notions, applying
new ideas to perpetuate assumptions about gender and race. The
commercialization of agriculture, industrialization, and
urbanization, as well as the opportunities presented by expanding
education and the sale of domestic goods all impacted on the
family. Further, the continuing expansion of Western empires, the
ownership of slaves within American states, and the political
turmoil of the American and French revolutions all helped to shape
both the ideals and the experience of family life. A Cultural
History of Childhood and Family in the Age of Enlightenment
presents essays on family relationships, community, economy,
geography and the environment, education, life cycle, the state,
faith and religion, health and science, and world contexts.
