“…On the one hand, death rates topped their highest levels during the first year of age. On the other, the borders between a new-born, a stillborn and an abortion remained blurred, considering the number of undeliberate or conscious killings of children at birth, first-year infanticides, abandonments and further fortunes experienced by not-yet-borns and new-borns alike (Spivack 2007;ferraro 2012;Scott 2013;Glover 2018). Under these circumstances, the two-year-old would constitute a more factual landmark, the prototypical EME turning point in the perception of infancy.…”

This contribution aims at exploring the emergence of early-age stereotypes in Early Modern England from a Cultural Linguistics approach to Age Studies, using the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary as a corpus. Results demonstrate that during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a new intersubjective conceptualization of embryos and new-borns emerged in English, confirming a more general social perception of the child as an autonomous human being. Moreover, the combined analysis of newly created synonyms for both embryos and infants in Early Modern English (EME) seems to suggest the existence of a temporary cultural understanding of infancy, later failed by the preponderance of science over subjective perceptions. Under this EME construal the current borders separating the unborn and the new-born seem to have been remapped.

“…Г. Исупова РЕЦЕНЗИИ НА КНИГИ тей, из-за опасения не соответствовать общественным ожиданиям приводящая во многих случаях к гипертревожности и гиперопеке. Исторически же, как правило, ответственность за детей всегда была скорее коллективной: за них отвечала не одна женщина, а род, семья или какая-то другая общность [Мид, 1988;Пушкарева, 1997;Ferraro, 2012]. Однако в наше время материнской деятельности придается беспрецедентно сложный и требующий разнообразных и весьма высоких квалификаций характер: мать выступает в ролях учительницы, медсестры, психолога, повара и т. д. Но собственно трудом материнская работа как бы не считается: пока все вышеупомянутое выполняет именно мать, полагается, что делает она это из любви к своему ребенку, а ее навыки и сноровка -«естественны» и сами собой разумеющиеся.…”

“…92 It was, however, common for children to be involved in household and agrarian tasks such as cleaning, collecting water, herding livestock, tending gardens and fields, preparing meals and minding siblings. 93 Some children in the London Hospital admission records have an occupation listed. Most of these are children in the eleven-to-thirteenage range, when work outside the home would have been the increasing focus of their lives.…”

Children in the London: Inpatient Care in a Voluntary General Hospital

The presence of children in English voluntary hospitals during the eighteenth century has only recently come under academic scrutiny. This research examines the surviving admission records of the London Hospital, which consistently record inpatient ages, to illuminate the hospital stays of infant and child patients and examine the morbidity of children during the long eighteenth century. Traumatic cases were the most common category of admission. The proportion of trauma cases admitted to the London Hospital was higher than in provincial English child patient cohorts, potentially reflecting the differential risks faced by rural and urban children. In most cases of traumatic injury the inpatients stayed in hospital long enough for significant fracture healing to have occurred. Understanding the conditions surrounding children’s admission to hospital, their length of stay, the result of their stay, and which medical issues drove their parents or guardians to seek medical attention for them are critical to illuminating the morbidity of children during the long eighteenth century.
