Description

This innovative collection of essays re-examines conventional ideas about the history of childhood, exploring how children gained increasing prominence in eighteenth-century discourse and how age emerged as a marker of social distinction alongside race, class and gender. Taking a comparative approach across British, German and French contexts, the book demonstrates the mutual influences between the Continent and Great Britain in shaping how childhood was conceptualised during this pivotal period. The essays challenge traditional scholarly approaches that focus on single nations, instead revealing the interconnected ways that age and identity were fashioned across different European societies in the 1700s.

Key Features

This Routledge collection offers a comparative analysis of childhood across British, German and French eighteenth-century contexts rather than limiting focus to a single nation.

The essays examine how age became established as a social distinction marker comparable to race, class and gender during the eighteenth century.

The book explores the child's increasing prominence in eighteenth-century discourse and cultural conversation across multiple European societies.
