Written by a diverse team of experts, this third volume of A Cultural History of Youth explores themes such as rites of passage, ideas about morality, youthful engagement with religion and the Reformations, and the experiences of young people. With analysis of the broader framework in which the cultural histories of the Renaissance played out, this volume combines detailed analysis of the 1450-1650 period with an examination of the representations and enactments of youth across time.

Richly illustrated with images of tapestries, maps, woodcuts, and contemporary architecture and artwork, this volume offers a detailed exploration of youth during the Renaissance, and covers its interactions with themes such as Concepts of Youth; Spaces and Places; Education and Work; Leisure and Play; Emotions; Gender, Sexuality and the Body; Belief and Ideology; Authority and Agency; War and Conflict; and Towards a Global History
