| Summary |
Children Remembered discusses the relationship between parents and children in the past, exploring the experience of parental grief over four centuries in America, England and France. The book engages with the hypothesis of "parental indifference" associated with the French cultural historian Philippe Ariès by analysing the changing risk of mortality since the sixteenth century and assessing its consequences. Woods examines paintings and poems in ways that are highly original, transforming these creative expressions into a unique form of historical evidence that challenges traditional disciplinary conventions |
