Evidence for childhood and youth from the sixth century to the
sixteenth, but with particular emphasis on later medieval England.
Moving on from the legacy of Aries, these essays address evidence
for childhood and youth from the sixth century to the sixteenth,
but with particular emphasis on later medieval England. The
contents include the idea of childhoodin the writing of Gregory of
Tours, skaldic verse narratives and their implications for the
understanding of kingship, Jewish communities of Northern Europe
for whom children represented the continuity of a persecuted faith,
children in the records of the northern Italian Humiliati, the
meaning of romance narratives centred around the departure of the
hero or heroine from the natal hearth, the age at which later
medieval English youngsters left home, how far they travelled and
where they went, literary sources revealing the politicisation of
the idea of the child, and the response of young, affluent females
to homiletic literature and the iconography of the virgin martyrs
in the later middle ages. Contributors: FRANCES E. ANDREWS, HELEN
COOPER, P.J.P.GOLDBERG, SIMCHA GOLDIN, EDWARD F. JAMES, JUDITH
JESCH, KIM M. PHILLIPS, MIKE TYLER, ROSALYNN VOADEN.
