Abstract:
"Family and Kinship in England, 1450-1800 guides the reader through the changing relationships that made up the nature of family life from the late medieval period to the beginnings of industrialisation. It gives a clear introduction to many of the intriguing areas of interest that this field of history has opened up, including childhood, youth, marriage, sexuality and death. This new edition now includes the latest research on urban communities, emotions and the interactions between the family and the parish, town and state. Supported by primary source documents and a glossary of terms this is an essential resource for any student of the history of the family"--Provided by publisher
