Drawing on the authors' primary research, this is a radical approach to the history of the family in England from 1830-1960. Examined are those dimensions so often overlooked, such as fatherhood, singleness, illegitimacy, and lodgers & servants. In exploring the shaping of identity and the self in families through the power relations of gender and generation, the authors challenge the model of the nuclear family and reveal the complex shifting meanings of family life during this period.
