Drawing on history, literature, and art to explore childhood in early modern Spain, the contributors to this collection argue that early modern Spaniards conceptualized childhood as a distinct and discrete stage in life which necessitated special care and concern. The volume contrasts the didactic use of art and literature with historical accounts of actual children, and analyzes children in a wide range of contexts including the royal court, the noble family, and orphanages. The volume explores several interrelated questions that challenge both scholars of Spain and scholars specializing in childhood. How did early modern Spaniards perceive childhood? In what framework (literary, artistic) did they think about their children, and how did they visualize those children’s roles within the family and society? How do gender and literary genres intersect with this concept of childhood? How did ideas about childhood shape parenting, parents, and adult life in early modern Spain? How did theories about children and childhood interact with the actual experiences of children and their parents? The group of international scholars contributing to this book have developed a variety of creative, interdisciplinary approaches to uncover children’s lives, the role of children within the larger family, adult perceptions of childhood, images of children and childhood in art and literature, and the ways in which children and childhood were vulnerable and in need of protection. Studying children uncovers previously hidden aspects of Spanish history and allows the contributors to analyze the ideals and goals of Spanish culture, the inner dynamics of the Habsburg court, and the vulnerabilities and weaknesses that Spanish society fought to overcome.

Imagine having an energetic and passionate Spanish teacher walk right into your home and sit down to teach your students. That can virtually happen when children learn with Spanish for Children author Julia Kraut on the corresponding DVD and Chant CD set. Pronunciation will become a breeze and don't be surprised to hear even your youngest children picking up the catchy chants and songs. Each lesson (average length 15 minutes), corresponds to the weekly chapter in the Primer, and features Julia and her students chanting their weekly grammar charts and vocabulary, with visual images of the words. Following the vocabulary lesson, Julia Kraut carefully and thoroughly explains Spanish grammar, with the goal of teaching students to create their own sentences, and express exactly what they need to say, rather than simply mimicking common phrases.

Faced with the pressure to demonstrate scientific and humanitarian progress on the international stage, Spanish children's welfare advocates worked over the course of the twentieth century to emulate international services, projects, and programs in the service of children's health and welfare. Spanish children's welfare specialists used the nation's progress in children's welfare to process their nation's progressive status among the international elite amidst the chaos of political upheaval in twentieth century Spain.
