Reviews
"This lively historical reconstruction, supported by a meticulous but unobtrusive stratum of documentation in wills, petitions, and other primary texts, should introduce an enlarged circle of readers to the rewards of archival research."--Paul Strohm, author of Honchon's Arrow: The SocialImagination of Fourteenth-Century Texts Indiana University, "Oh, how we have needed this work on the experience of growing up in pasttime! With Hanawalt's expert guidance, we discover what many analysts haveclaimed did not exist--the social institutions of medieval London that formedthe boundaries and pathways of childhood and adolescence in a society with highmortality. They include the multiple worlds shaped by class and genderinequality, the systems of apprenticeship and domestic service, and the cultureof matrimony. In data exploration, appraisal, and interpretation, the book setsa commendable standard for historical studies of the young and their paths toadulthoodl."--Glen H. Elder, Jr., author of?, "Barbara Hanawalt presents us with a vivid, imaginative glimpse of childhood and youth in an urban environment. Based on a treasure trove of sources, her book poses a direct challenge to Philippe Aries' treatment of medieval childhood."--John R. Gillis, Rutgers University, "Working with the rich records of the CIty of London in the fourteen andfiteenth centuries, Hanawalt provides convincing evidence that medievalchildhood was recognizably like childhood in later times....Full of valuableinformation, enjoyably presented and extremely well-documented."--Wilson LibraryBulletin, "Oh, how we have needed this work on the experience of growing up in pasttime!

Elder, Jr., author of Children of the Great Depression:Social Change in the Life Experience and Children in Time and Place:Developmental and Historical Insights, "In a densely informative, fluid, and often charming study, Hanawalt dashes the widely accepted notions that medieval society lacked the concepts of childhood and adolescence as we understand them, and that it disallowed the cultural space for the expression of these states ofdevelopment....Turning to the rich court documentation available in London (coroners' rolls; wills and bequests; records of orphans; business disputes, etc), and relying on a technique that includes 'fictional' portraits and scenarios to illustrate her more conventional expository narrative,Hanawalt paints a convincing picture of a 14th- and 15th-century London in which parents cherished their children no less than we do....The author conclusively demonstrates that then, as now, kids were allowed to be kids. Exemplary scholarship that blends traditional, painstaking research withcontemporary approaches and understandings."--Kirkus Reviews, "Barbara Hanawalt presents us with a vivid, imaginative glimpse ofchildhood and youth in an urban environment.

Synopsis
When Barbara Hanawalt's acclaimed history The Ties That Bind first appeared, it was hailed for its unprecedented research and vivid re-creation of medieval life. David Levine, writing in The New York Times Book Review, called Hanawalt's book "as stimulating for the questions it asks as for the answers it provides." Now, in Growing Up in Medieval London, Hanawalt again reveals the larger, fuller, more dramatic life of the common people, in this instance, the lives of children in London. Bringing together a wealth of evidence drawn from court records, literary sources, and books of advice, Hanawalt weaves a rich tapestry of the life of London youth during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Much of what she finds is eye opening. She shows for example that--contrary to the belief of some historians--medieval adults did recognize and pay close attention to the various stages of childhood and adolescence. For instance, manuals on childrearing, such as "Rhodes's Book of Nurture" clearly reflect the value parents placed in laying the proper groundwork for a child's future. Likewise, wardship cases reveal that in fact London laws granted orphans greater protection than do our own courts. And with her innovative narrative style, Hanawalt brings medieval childhood to life, creating composite profiles based on the experiences of real children, such as Alison the Bastard Heiress, whose guardians married her off to their apprentice in order to gain control of her inheritance. Ranging from birth and baptism, to apprenticeship and adulthood, here is a myth-shattering, innovative work that illuminates the nature of childhood in the Middle Ages., When Barbara Hanawalt's acclaimed history The Ties That Bind first appeared, it was hailed for its unprecedented research and vivid re-creation of medieval life. David Levine, writing in The New York Times Book Review, called Hanawalt's book "as stimulating for the questions it asks as for the answers it provides" and he concluded that "one comes away from this stimulating book with the same sense of wonder that Thomas Hardy's Angel Clare felt [:] 'The impressionable peasant leads a larger, fuller, more dramatic life than the pachydermatous king.'"

She shows for instance that--contrary to the belief of some historians--medieval adults did recognize and pay close attention to the various stages of childhood and adolescence. For instance, manuals on childrearing, such as "Rhodes's Book of Nurture" or "Seager's School of Virtue," clearly reflect the value parents placed in laying the proper groundwork for a child's future. Likewise, wardship cases reveal that in fact London laws granted orphans greater protection than do our own courts. Hanawalt also breaks ground with her innovative narrative style. To bring medieval childhood to life, she creates composite profiles, based on the experiences of real children, which provide a more vivid portrait than otherwise possible of the trials and tribulations of medieval youths at work and at play. We discover through these portraits that the road to adulthood was fraught with danger. We meet Alison the Bastard Heiress, whose guardians married her off to their apprentice in order to gain control of her inheritance. We learn how Joan Rawlyns of Aldenham thwarted an attempt to sell her into prostitution. And we hear the unfortunate story of William Raynold and Thomas Appleford, two mercer's apprentices who found themselves forgotten by their senile master, and abused by his wife. These composite portraits, and many more, enrich our understanding of the many stages of life in the Middle Ages. Written by a leading historian of the Middle Ages, these pages evoke the color and drama of medieval life.
