Children and Childhood in the West from Medieval to Modern Times (Themes in History)
by Colin Heywood
- 6 Want to read
"This new, comprehensively updated edition incorporates the findings of the most recent research, and in particular revises and expands the sections on theoretical developments in the 'new social studies of childhood', on medieval conceptions of the child, on parenting and on children{u2019}s literature. Rather than merely narrating their experiences from the perspectives of adults, Heywood incorporates children{u2019}s testimonies, 'looking up' as well as 'down'. Paying careful attention to elements of continuity as well as change, he tells a story of astonishing material improvement for the lives of children in advanced societies, while showing how the business of preparing for adulthood became more and more complicated and fraught with emotional difficulties."--Provided by publisher.
