Miller and Yavneh note in their introductory comments on the volume that there is a lack of texts that address childhood in the Early Modern period, and many of those do not address gender (pp. 1-2). Though the articles in the volume hail from an array of disciplines and are quite fascinating, issues of gender and childhood are sometimes only present in the periphery. Though gender and childhood are not centerpieces in all of the chapters, the text is a much needed contribution to Early Modern studies.The text is divided into three thematic parts, 'Conceptualizing Childhood: Loss and Celebration', 'Imprinting Identity: Education and Social Training', and 'Transitional Stages: Growing Up and Growing Old'. Chapters one is an intriguing essay by Patricia Phillippy, titled 'A Comfortable Farewell: Child-loss and Funeral Monuments in Early Modern England'. Phillippy sets forth the argument that Early Modern parents were not detached from their children, as has been posited in other literature, and that parental attachment and mourning is evident in the funeral monuments established in memory of their children, as well as in the monuments of parents. Though there is much discussion of the lives of children and the ways in which their memories were carried on after death, the reader is leftwith many questions about the potential impact of gender on the selection of funeral monuments and memorials, as well as the ways in the children were remembered by their parents.Continuing the theme of child and parental death, chapter two presents Carole Levin's chapter, 'Parents, Children, and Responses to Death in Dream Structures in Early Modern England'. The chapter centers on Thomas Hill's The Pleasant Art of the Interpretation of Dreams. Throughout the chapter, Levin makes the case that parents and children shared a deep bond, which is evidenced in the various dreams experienced by parents and children alike (p. 46). Levin's discussion of gender, while brief, is interesting. She notes that 'while daughters were far less valued than sons, they were also far less threatening' (p. 44), which is demonstrated by the dreams about 'conflicts between fathers and sons' (p. 44), as opposed to dreams that resulted in sadness at the loss of a daughter.Yavneh's chapter 'Lost and Found: Veronese's Finding of Moses' explores 'the paradoxical salvation of a child through his abandonment' (p. 53) in Venice, using Paolo Veronese's painting, 'Finding of Moses', as an allegory for this phenomenon. Like Phillippy and Levin, Yavneh echoes the idea that Early Modern parents were attached to their children and that the parents' willingness to abandon their child at a time when the command for 'midwives to kill all male babies born to the Hebrews' (p. 53) is evidence of this attachment.Part I is wrapped up with Katherine Larson's chapter, 'Certein childeplayes remembred by the fayre ladies: Girls and Their Games'. Larson's chapter is by far the most uplifting chapter of Part I and represents the 'Celebration' that is juxtaposed with loss. The exploration of games played by the upper echelons of society presents one of the clearest assessments of the intersectionality of gender and childhood in the text. Larson discusses the types of games played by males and females both as children and as adults. Games allowed children of both genders to subvert gender norms (p. 71), and allowed adults the brief opportunity to return to childhood, to 'escape from every day responsibilities' (p. 73), as well as to 'facilitate the negotiation of political or erotic relationships and create alternative avenues for agency' (p. …" @default.
