Nurture and Neglect: Childhood in Sixteenth-Century Northern
England addresses a number of anomalies in the existing
historiography surrounding the experience of children in urban and
rural communities in sixteenth-century northern England. In
contrast to much recent scholarship that has focused on affective
parent-child relationships, this study directly engages with the
question of what sixteenth-century society actually constituted as
nurture and neglect. Whilst many modern historians consider
affection and love essential for nurture, contemporary ideas of
good nurture were consistently framed in terms designed to instil
obedience and deference to authority in the child, with the best
environment in which to do this being the authoritative,
patriarchal household. Using ecclesiastical and secular legal
records to form its basis, hitherto an untapped resource for
children's voices, this book tackles important omissions in the
historiography, including the regional imbalance, which has largely
ignored the north of England and generalised about the experiences
of the whole of the country using only sources from the south, and
the adult-centred nature of the debate in which historians have
typically portrayed the child as having little or no say in their
own care and upbringing. Nurture and Neglect will be of particular
interest to scholars studying the history of childhood and the
social history of England in the sixteenth-century.
