Child death was the great  equaliser of the early modern period, affecting people of all ages and  conditions. It is well recognised that the deaths of children struck at the  heart of early modern families, yet less known is the variety of ways that not  only parents, but siblings, communities and even nations, responded to  childhood death. The contributors to this volume ask what emotional responses  to child death tell us about childhood and the place of children in society.  Placing children and their voices at the heart of this investigation, they  track how emotional norms, values, and practices shifted across the fifteenth  to nineteenth centuries through different religious, legal and nationaltraditions.  This collection demonstrates that child death was not just a family matter,  but integral to how communities and societies defined themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Chapter 5 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-02-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137571984\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-57199-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 257\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752434561164,"sku":"9781137571984","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137571984.jpg?v=1775920064","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137571984","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
