Drawing on art history, literary studies and social history, the
essays in this volume explore a range of intersections between
gender and constructions of childhood in the 15th, 16th and 17th
centuries in Italy, England, France and Spain. The essays are
grouped around the themes of celebration and loss, education and
social training, growing up and growing old. Contributors grapple
with ways in which constructions of childhood were inflected by
considerations of gender throughout the early modern world. In so
doing, they examine representations of children and childhood in a
range of sources from the period, from paintings and poetry to
legal records and personal correspondence. The volume sheds light
on some of the ways in which, in the relations between Renaissance
children and their parents and peers, gender mattered. Gender and
Early Modern Constructions of Childhood enriches our understanding
of individual children and the nature of familial relations in the
early modern period, as well as of the relevance of gender to
constructions of self and society.
