What does it mean to be a father? How has fatherhood been considered and experienced in recent centuries? This book seeks to shed light on the profound changes in the father figure in the Occident from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. Focusing on fathers' personal and concrete relationships with their children, especially young children, paternal emotions, and issues of transmission and power, the contributors to this volume reveal the diversity of paternal experiences and the models imposed on fathers. Specialists in history and art history conduct a series of varied studies that reveal little-known aspects of fatherhood, past and present, allowing us to move beyond common stereotypes and simplifications.
