The Premodern Teenager: Youth in Society, 1150-1650

Konrad Eisenbichler

4.9/5 (27182 ratings)

Description:While a lot of excellent work has been carried out in the past four decades on premodern children and childhood, few scholars have focused on post-pubescent youth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The seventeen essays in this volume seek to redress this imbalance by offering a sampling of the research currently underway in this field and of the various questions and methodologies that could be useful in the study of “teenagers” in the 13th-17th centuries.Several key issues serve as sign-posts for the collection. The first is the question of terminology and definitions. The second is the ritual role given to youth in what was, in most cases across Europe, a gerontocracy. The third is the question of education. The fourth is the fascination young people have for the military. The fifth is the irrepressible interest they have for sex. And the last section looks at the inevitable problem of teens in trouble, be it medical, social, or legal.There is no unifying methodology in this volume. The collection is not meant to argue in favour of a particular school, but in favour of a new look, from a variety of angles, at a little studied area. The eclecticism of this volume thus offers a tantalizing array of entry points into the question of adolescence in pre- and early modern times.ContentsKonrad Eisenbichler, “Introduction”Ilaria Taddei, “Puerizia, Adolescenza and Giovinezza: Images and Conceptions of Youth in Florentine Society During the Renaissance”Ludovica Sebregondi, “Clothes and Teenagers: What Young Men Wore in Fifteenth-Century Florence”Roni Weinstein, “‘Thus Will Giovani Do’: Jewish Youth Sub-Culture in Early Modern Italy”Ottavia Niccoli, “Rituals of Youth: Love, Play, and Violence in Tridentine Bologna”Virginia Cole, “Ritual, Religion and the Royal Teenager: The Case of Edward II of England”Robert Zajkowski, “Henry VI of England: The Ritual Education of an Adolescent Prince”Mark H.
