Adulthood in Britain and the United States from 1350 to Generation Z (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781908590824)

Employing adulthood as a category of historical analysis.

Who gets to be an adult--and who decides? This book argues that consideration of age is a crucial element in scholarship that addresses power and inequality. Exploring how concepts of adulthood have changed over time in Britain and the United States from 1350 to the present day, the essays collected here engage with the intersectional identities of gender, race, class, sexuality, and disability, and ask how these affect understandings of adulthood.
