Childhood, Memory and Autobiography in Holland. From the Golden Age to Romanticism.  -  DEKKER, RUDOLF

from the Golden Age to Romanticism

KORTE INHOUD

Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, autobiographers and diarists adopted new ways to write about childhood and children. At the same time pedagogical ideas about child-rearing changed. The author looks at the connection between these developments. Autobiographical texts are set within a wider cultural setting, using paintings, poetry, pedagogical tracts and novels. This book shows how changes in autobiographical style, the concept of childhood and the working of human memory are connected.
