Reflections on the history of adolescence in America
The concept of adolescence was developed in the United States between 1890 and 1920. In the hands of G. Stanley Hall and his many followers, adolescence required a moratorium on the assumption of adult responsibilities by teenagers. This prescription of a moratorium broke sharply with the advice given to youth in the 19th century, which urged the quick assumption of adult responsibilities. Although the concept of adolescence emerged at a time whe…

Just the Facts, Please
This volume consists of ten essays, of which Kaestle is the sole author of three and coauthor of the remainder. In the first two chapters (part 1), Kaestle surveys the historiography of literacy and reading, a field that resembles a gigantic railroad station. Arriving on trains from various origination pointsancient, medieval, early-modern, and modern history-some historians have stayed in the station only long enough for a quick tour, during whi…
Decline and Fall
During the last two decades scholars have thrashed out such issues relating to the history of aging as whether veneration and/or respect for the aged has declined and, if so, when and why. David Hackett Fischer, W. Andrew Achenbaum, and Carole Haber disagreed over whether colonial Americans attached respect to age as such or merely to the wealth and power held by the aged, but all agreed that critical changes occurred somewhere between the Revolu…
