"this excellent treatise [provides] understanding of the evolution of the family and an insight into family life some 500 years ago, by examining childhood, adolescence, marriage and sexuality amongst other topics" Family Tree Magazine
'...very comprehensive in its scope' The Historical Association
Product Description
There are many different views as to how the family evolved in early modern England. Designed to stimulate interest in a fascinating and important topic, Family and Kinship in England, 1450-1800 offers an important and timely synthesis of the various arguments and provides answers to the questions they raise. While historians have made the history of family life in the past a key area of scholarly study, the diversity of methods, sources, areas of interest and conclusions this has produced, have made it one of the most difficult for readers to approach. The aim of this book is to provide a guide to understanding families in the past. It also gives a clear introduction to many of the intriguing areas of study that this field of history has opened up, including childhood, youth, marriage, sexuality and death. It provides clear signposts to how readers can pursue these and other topics. Through documents and illustrations it allows readers to begin to participate in the understanding of the history of family life which has determined the shape of own experiences of family life in the modern world.

Format:Paperback
Having just completed a history module on family life in the period mainly covered by the book I found the book essential. The whole book is well constructed and would appeal to the general reader as well as professional historians and academics.The book would be of particular interest to anybody studying wills. I would recommend this book to anybody studying the changes in family life and religous rituals between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution.
