A Tender Voyage is the first full-length study of the history of
childhood and children's lives in late imperial China. The author
draws on an extraordinary range of sources to analyze both the
normative concept of childhood - literary and philosophical - and
the treatment and experience of children in China. The study begins
with the history of pediatrics and newborn care and their evolution
over time. The author moves on to the social environment of the
child, including models of upbringing and expected behavior and the
treatment of different kinds of children, including the rebellious
and the gentle child. She examines the role of the mother, notably
her close and complex relations with her sons, and the broader
emotional world of children, their relationships with the adults
around them, and the destructive power of death. The last section
discusses concepts of childhood in China and the West. The study
keeps in view throughout the issue of representation versus
practice, the role of memory, and the importance of listening for
what is not said.
