Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood.
Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being
beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those
closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood
history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in
the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily
on England, it is a history of violence against children in their
own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval
times to the present. Undeniably, the experience of children in the
past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems
to contemporary mores, callousness, and cruelty. However,
historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of
children was understood within its contemporary context. Most
parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there
have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries
that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the
intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these
boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing
so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by
childrenĀ in the past.
