Among the elementary human stories, parenthood has tended to go
without saying. Compared to the spectacular attachments of romantic
love, it is only the predictable sequel. Compared to the passions
of childhood, it is just a background. But in recent decades,
far-reaching changes in typical family forms and in procreative
possibilities (through reproductive technologies) have brought out
new questions. Why do people want (or not want) to be parents? How
has the 'choice' first enabled by contraception changed the meaning
of parenthood? Looking not only at new parental parts but at older
parental stories, in novels and other works, this fascinating book
offers fresh angles and arguments for thinking about parenthood
today.
