Through fifteen essays that work from a rich array of primary
sources, this collection makes the novel claim that early modern
European women, like men, had a youth. European culture recognised
that, between childhood and full adulthood, early modern women
experienced distinctive physiological, social, and psychological
transformations. Drawing on two mutually shaped layers of inquiry -
cultural constructions of youth and lived experiences - these
essays exploit a wide variety of sources, including literary and
autobiographical works, conduct literature, judicial and asylum
records, drawings, and material culture. The geographical and
temporal ranges traverse England, Ireland, Italy, France, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Mexico from the sixteenth to
the eighteenth century. This volume brings fresh attention to
representations of female youth, their own life writings, young
women's training for adulthood, courtship, and the emergent sexual
lives of young unmarried women.
