Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. First Edition, First Thus. Text/NEW, showing faint margin discoloration. Softcover/NF w/trace shelfwear. English translation of pre-eminent evolution & analysis of the concept of "childhood" both linguistically & socio-economically in the family structure by French medievalist & historian Philippe Ariès (1914 ? 1984). This is the 1962 English translation of L?Enfant et la Vie Familiale sous l?Ancien Régime first published in 1960. An early sociological study of the family & childhood. Central thesis is that attitudes towards children evolved over time in response to societal socio-economic changes. When agriculture was dominant, more children the better --- a 5-year old could feed chickens & close pigs into pens. But by the 17th century reliance on child labor diminished & childhood ended when they could live independently, ending multi-generational family units. Now days, at best, in the US we but carry "children" on medical insurance benefits through the age of 26. 447 pgs, 15 chapters in 3 parts: I, The Idea of Childhood; II, Scholastic Life; and III, The Family, followed by Conclusion.
