The Family in PastPerspectiveAn Interdisciplinary Exploration of FamilialRelationships Through Time

Edited by Ellen J. Kendall and Ross Kendall

By applying interdisciplinary perspectives to periods ranging from the Prehistoric to the Modern, this volue informs a wider understanding of the term 'family' and the implications of family dynamics for children and their social networks in the past. Contributors drawn from across the humanities and social sciences present research addressing three primary themes: modes of kinship and familial structure, the convergence and divergence between the idealised image and realities of family life and the provision of care within families. Informs fields ranging from bioarchaeology to women's history.
