[edit] CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD IN WESTERN SOCIETY SINCE 1500

An examination of childhood in Western society since 1550 which also covers childhood in ancient and medieval Europe and the historiography of childhood. Topics from 1500 cover family, work and school as well as child labour, philanthropy, cruelty to children and childhood in the 20th century.

Hugh Cunningham surveys the changing concepts of childhood and the changing experience of being a child, in Europe and North America across five centuries. This is an important study, reviewing and often challenging the recent historiography of the subject. It will be rewarding reading for students of history, sociology and cultural studies; child psychology, welfare history and the general reader.
