Children and childhood in western society since 1500

This book investigates the relationship between ideas about childhood and the actual experience of being a child, and assesses how it has changed over the span of five hundred years. Hugh Cunningham tells an engaging story of the development of ideas about childhood from the Renaissance to the present, taking in Locke, Rosseau, Wordsworth and Freud, revealing considerable differences in the way western societites have understood and valued childhood over time. His survey of parent/child relationships uncovers evidence of parental love, care and, in the frequent cases of child death, grief.

  • "Opvattingen omtrent de kindertijd, de relatie tussen kinderen en volwassenen en de rol van de jeugdzorg door de staat en charitatieve instellingen in de westerse wereld vanaf de late middeleeuwen tot heden."
  • "Come è cambiata l'esistenza dei bambini e come si è modificato il loro posto nella famiglia e nella società dal Cinquecento ad oggi? In questo vasto affresco di storia sociale europea l'autore ripercorre i diversi atteggiamenti che le società occidentali hanno assunto di fronte all'infanzia. Se nella prima età moderna al bambino si guardava come ad una sorta di adulto incompleto, da formare secondo i precetti cristiani, la nozione dell'infanzia come condizione a sé, innocente e da proteggere si fa strada nel Settecento. Con il vittorianesimo, a questa "sacralità" si mescola il senso acuto della vulnerabilità dello stato infantile; in epoca contemporanea, infine, al bambino viene riconosciuta un'identità forte e distinta. (Alice)."
