Children and childhood in western society since 1500

Description:

This is an exceptional book. In it, Hugh Cunningham surveys changing concepts of childhood, and the changing experience of being a child, in Europe and North America across five centuries. In so doing he also reviews - and at many points challenges - the recent historiography of the subject.
