European societies underwent massive changes during the nineteenth century. The old social order, anchored in kinship, the village, the community, religion, and the old regimes, came under attack from and fell to the twin forces of industrialism and revolutionary democracy. The sweeping changes had a particular effect on the family. There was a dramatic increase in such conditions as poverty, child labor, desertions, prostitution, illegitimacy, and the abuse of women and children. These conditions were particularly evident in the newly emerging industrial cities. The vivid writings of a novelist such as Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist and Hard Times provide startling portraits of a harsh new way of life
