An investigation into a variety of texts providing guidance for
teachers, parents, and children themselves. The question and
procedures of integrating children into wider society during the
medieval and early modern period are debated across a wide range of
contemporary texts, in both print and manuscript form. This study
takes as its focus the ways in which vernacular literature
(including English courtesy poems, incunabula and sixteenth-century
printed household books, grammar school statutes, and pedagogic
books) provided a guide to socialising children. Theauthor examines
how the transmission and reception of this literature, showing how
patterns of thought changed during the period for parents,
teachers, and young people alike; and places children and family
reading networks into the context of debates on the history of
childhood, and the history of the book. MERRIDEE L, BAILEY Is a
social and cultural historian of late medieval and early modern
England. She is an Associate Member of the Facultyof History,
University of Oxford.
