The Life-Cycle in Western Europe, C.1300-1500by Deborah Youngs
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This is the first study to examine the entire life cycle in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of secondary and primary material, the book explores the timing and experiences of infancy, childhood, adolescence and youth, adulthood, old age and, finally, death. It discusses attitudes towards aging, rites of passage, age stereotypes in operation, and the means by which age was used as a form of social control, compelling individuals to work, govern, marry and pay taxes. About the AuthorDeborah Youngs is Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Wales Swansea.
