Cloth with dustjacket. Etat : Gut. XVI, 333 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag etwas berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket a little rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - As the changes in the traditional family accelerated toward the end of the twentieth century, a great deal of attention came to focus on fathers, both modern and ancient. While academics and politicians alike singled out the conspicuous and growing absence of the modern father as a crucial factor affecting contemporary family and social dynamics, ancient historians and classicists have rarely explored ancient father-absence, despite the likelihood that nearly a third of all children in the ancient Mediterranean world were fatherless before they turned fifteen. The proportion of children raised by single mothers, relatives, step parents, or others was thus at least as high in antiquity as it is today. This book assesses the wide-ranging impact that high levels of chronic father-absence had on the cultures, politics, and families of the ancient world. / CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. As the changes in the traditional family accelerated toward the end of the twentieth century, a great deal of attention came to focus on fathers, both modern and ancient. While academics and politicians alike singled out the conspicuous and growing absence of the modern father as a crucial factor affecting contemporary family and social dynamics, ancient historians and classicists have rarely explored ancient father-absence, despite the likelihood that nearly a third of all children in the ancient Mediterranean world were fatherless before they turned fifteen. The proportion of children raised by single mothers, relatives, step-parents, or others was thus at least as high in antiquity as it is today. This book assesses the wide-ranging impact high levels of chronic father-absence had on the cultures, politics, and families of the ancient world. Probably one-third of all children under fifteen in the ancient Mediterranean world were raised by single mothers, relatives, or step-parents. This book assesses the wide-ranging impact such high levels of chronic father-absence had on the societies, cultures, politics and families of this world. This item is printed on demand.
