| Mothers at home : their role in childrearing and instruction in early modern England
|
| [Ph.D. dissertation].United States -- New York: City University of New York; 2007. Publication Number: AAT 3245075.- 323 p. |
| Based on the examination of more than 150 works of private literature (diaries,
memoirs, letters) and prescriptive texts (treatises, advice books, orations),
this dissertation explores three main areas of the maternal role---physical
care, religious training and educational instruction---to illuminate not only
the messages mothers were listening to and reading, but also to show how they
themselves perceived their roles. Inquiring to what extent mothers not only
performed their roles as instructed, but also actually shaped the lives of
their children, this study will underscore the importance of the seventeenth
century in the evolution of "modern" childrearing. It is in the seventeenth
century (especially in England) that maternal breastfeeding becomes an ideal
embraced by mothers; that swaddling begins to decline; that children's
literature becomes copious; and that childrearing becomes a central concern of
an increasing quantity of literature.
