How Do Changes In Family Form Relate To Changes In Society As A Whole? In A Work Which Combines Theoretical Rigour With Historical Scope, Wally Seccombe Provides A Powerful Study Of The Changing Structure Of Families From The Middle Ages To The Beginning Of The Industrial Revolution. Responding To Feminist Critiques Of Sexblind Historical Materialism, Seccombe Argues That Family Forms Must Be Seen To Be At The Heart Of Modes Of Production. He Takes Issue With The Mainstream Consensus In Family History Which Argues That Capitalism Did Not Fundamentally Alter The Structure Of The Nuclear Family, And Makes A Controversial Intervention In The Longstanding Debate Over European Marriage Patterns And Their Relation To Industrialization. Drawing On An Astonishing Range Of Studies In Family History, Historical Demography And Economic History, A Millennium Of Family Change Provides An Integrated Overview Of The Long Transition From Feudalism To Capitalism, Illuminating The Farreaching Changes In Familial Relations From Peasant Subsistence To The Making Of The Modern Working Class.
