What is The domestic life of a medieval city : women, children, and the family in fourteenth-century Ghent about?
Nicholas' study helps to destroy several misconceptions concerning medieval society: that childhood was discovered only in modern times; that the conjugal family in preindustrial Europe was an economic but not an emotional unit; that affection and sexual attraction had little place in marriage; and that women were either systematically oppressed or overly protected.
