While children are a relatively unchanging fact of life, childhood is a constantly shifting concept. As author JamesMarten explores in this Very Short Introduction, so too have the realities of childhood, each life shaped by factors such as education, expectation, and conflict (or lack thereof). Throughout the millennia, the age at which a child becomes a youth and a youth becomes an adult has varied by gender, class, religion, ethnicity, place, and economic need.
In addressing this diversity, The History of Childhood: A Very Short Introduction takes a global, expansive view of the features of childhood Indeed, ancient Roman children lived very differently than those born of today's Generation Z.Experiences of childhood have been shaped in classrooms and on factory floors, in family homes and orphanages, and on battlefields and in front of television sets.
