mso-fareast-language:EN-IN" lang="EN-US">This book has been written for the delight not only
of child-readers but of such of their elders as like and understands small
boys. Its aim has been to present a vivid and faithful picture of the daily
life of the average boy from the epoch of the cave-dwellers to the middle of
Queen Victoria^s reign, and to trace, by the way, the evolution of the modern
attitude toward children, from that of the earlier and less sympathetic periods
in history. Someplace has been given to the ideas of theorists such as Sir
Thomas Elyot, Dean Colet, Roger Ascham, James I and VI, and Thomas Day, to say
nothing of those arch-swishers, King Solomon and Orbilius: but for the most
part, the attention is focused upon the boys themselves, their studies, their
sports, and the color which their lives took from their surroundings. To make
the chronicle more real and convincing, illustrations have been gathered
together from many sources - from museum exhibits, ancient manuscripts, and
portraits in private collections and in public galleries. Each of these does,
in good truth, ?illustrate? some point or some episode in the accompanying
text. It has thematic chapters about boys, from Egypt, Greece, Rome, Norse
boys, Anglo-Saxon boys, Norman Boys, Medieval Boys, the Renaissance Boy, and
the 17th through 19th centuries (plus an index)</span></p>
