The past thirty years have seen an explosion of interest in Greek
and Roman social history, particularly studies of women and the
family. Until recently these studies did not focus especially on
children and childhood, but considered children in the larger
context of family continuity and inter-family relationships, or
legal issues like legitimacy, adoption and inheritance. Recent
publications have examined a variety of aspects related to
childhood in ancient Greece and Rome, but until now nothing has
attempted to comprehensively survey the state of ancient childhood
studies. This handbook does just that, showcasing the work of both
established and rising scholars and demonstrating the variety of
approaches to the study of childhood in the classical world. In
thirty chapters, with a detailed introduction and envoi, The Oxford
Handbook of Childhood and Education in the Classical World presents
current research in a wide range of topics on ancient childhood,
including sub-disciplines of Classics that rarely appear in
collections on the family or childhood such as archaeology and
ancient medicine. Contributors include some of the foremost experts
in the fieldas well as younger, up-and-coming scholars. Unlike most
edited volumes on childhood or the family in antiquity, this
collection also gives attention to the late antique period and
whether (or how) conceptions of childhood and the life of children
changed with Christianity. The chronological spread runs from
archaic Greece to the later Roman Empire (fifth century C.E.).
Geographical areas covered include not only classical Greece and
Roman Italy, but also the eastern Mediterranean. The Oxford
Handbook of Childhood and Education in the Classical World engages
with perennially valuable questions about family and education in
the ancient world while providing a much-needed touchstone for
research in the field.
