These anthologies of articles authored by a distinguished roster of social historians document family life in Europe, explore how it changed, and uncover the forces that brought about that change. The history of the family lies at the heart of ônew social historyö which focuses on the experiences of ordinary people instead of political history. Details on housing, diet, domestic organization, the impact of religious change, trends in marriage and divorce, family law, and demographics may hold valuable clues to the forces that drove families to a new world.
