Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the ways in which we regard and treat children during their formative years, tracing the evolution of the concept of childhood in the Western world desde the Enlightenment through the present. Drawing on historical and cultural sources ranging from literature to art, law, economics, and religion, the author argues that the modern conception of childhood as a distinct stage of life is a relatively recent phenomenon that has its roots in the social and economic changes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Throughout the book, the author explores conceptions of what children are, their essential nature, their needs, and their rights, and charts the influence these conceptions have had on social policy. The author illustrates the dramatic impact of intellectual and social trends in the West upon the lives of children and upon the concepts of childhood, and shows how contemporary ideas about education and child development set the stage for the future.
