Here Ozment, The Leading Historian Of The Family In The Middle Centuries, Replaces The Often Miserable Depiction Of Premodern Family Relations With A Delicately Nuanced Portrait Of A Vibrant And Loving Social Group. Mining The Records Of Families Private Livesfrom Diaries And Letters To Fiction And Woodcutsozment Shows Us A Preindustrial Family Not Very Different From The Later Family Of High Industry That Is Generally Viewed As The Precursor To The Sentimental Nuclear Family Of Today.In Ancestors, We See The Familiar Pattern Of A Domestic Wife And Working Father In A Home In Which Spousal And Parental Love Were Amply Present: Parents Cherished Their Children, Wives Were Helpmeets In Providing For The Family, And The Genders Were Nearly Equal. Contrary To The Abstractions Of History, Parents Thenas Nowwere Sensitive To The Emotional And Psychological Needs Of Their Children, Treated Them With Affection, And Gave Them A Secure Early Life And Caring Preparation For Adulthood.As It Recasts Familial History, Ancestors Resonates Beyond Its Time, Revealing How Much The Story Of The Premodern Family Has To Say To A Modern Society That Finds Itself In The Throes Of A Family Crisis.
