COMPARATIVE EDUCATION

This work encourages students of social history at all levels to engage with source materials. The theme of the book is the human life-cycle, and it features: a stage by stage account of life cycles in England from birth through childhood, youth and marriage to old age and death; a collection of primary sources, including documents of the period, together with an accompanying commentary, which will stimulate discussion and further reading; and a collection of photographs of images and artefacts from the period.
