Description

Explore how medieval childhood was portrayed in vernacular French literature through this groundbreaking academic study. Phyllis Gaffney's innovative research examines over sixty poems composed between 1100 and 1220, spanning epic and romance genres, to reveal significant evolution in how childhood and youth were depicted across these two centuries. This scholarly work addresses long-standing historical debates about medieval childhood boundaries, the distinction between childhood and young adulthood, and the gendered nature of these life stages. Rather than relying solely on historical documents, Gaffney uses imaginative literature as evidence to test and expand upon historians' conclusions, offering a fresh perspective on medieval society. The book traces contrasts and changes in narrative portrayals, providing readers with nuanced insights into how writers of the period understood and represented the experiences of young people. Published by Routledge, this comprehensive analysis is essential for scholars, historians, and students of medieval literature seeking to understand childhood in historical context.
