During this period (1650-1800), traditional family roles were rethought, questioning much which had been taken for granted, such as the innate nature of children. At the same time, the Enlightenment also reinforced many long-held notions, applying new ideas to perpetuate assumptions about gender and race. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe commercialization of agriculture, industrialization, and urbanization, as well as the opportunities presented by expanding education and the sale of domestic goods all impacted on the family. Further, the continuing expansion of Western empires, the ownership of slaves within American states, and the political turmoil of the American and French revolutions all helped to shape both the ideals and the experience of family life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Childhood and Family in the Age of Enlightenment\u003c\/i\u003e presents essays on family relationships, community, economy, geography and the environment, education, life cycle, the state, faith and religion, health and science, and world contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Foyster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184788797X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847887979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.63d","brand":"Elizabeth Foyster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052277158143,"sku":"9781847887979","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2175d3f8-11b1-49fc-ae4f-fa71ac67ba60.jpg?v=1723555854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-childhood-elizabeth-foyster-9781847887979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
