Beschreibung
Childhood is receiving increasing attention in historical research. So far, the Bohemian lands and Slovakia have not been a major focus in this field. While childhoods there were certainly not fundamentally different from those in Western Europe, it can be assumed that the many historic transformations and the diverse social, political, and cultural tensions within these countries produced experiences and ideas of childhood specific to these regions. The contributions to this volume examine aspects of childhood in different periods of Bohemian and Slovak history, starting from diverse perspectives and taking different approaches, and thus aim to stimulate further research.

Rezension
Historical study of childhood in the Bohemian lands and Slovakia enables fresh and important insights into some important questions: How did children live and experience childhood? How did actors from politics, science, society, and the family influence the lives of children? What were the ideas about and ideals of childhood? And how were these aspects of life related to other historic phenomena?
The book presents the history of childhoods in Central Europe in its diversity over two centuries, paying attention to regional differences, social conflicts, ideals, and realities, all determined by radical political transformations.
