Taking history offshore
Continental Europeans had been thinking archipelagically long before they ventured offshore into the Atlantic. By the eighteenth century the Atlantic had come closer than at any time in its history to becoming, like Pacific Oceania, a sea of islands. As in the ancient and medieval worlds, islands were good places to think with, all the better when they were just beyond the edge of the known world, or, better yet, safely beyond reach of actual obs…

Not continents in miniature
Islands are usually thought of as being territorial-like continents, but on a smaller scale. Yet, they differ from continents in one fundamental regard: their relationship to water. Islands must be understood as ecotones, a concept of increasing importance to the environmental sciences in recent years, but not well known to island studies scholars. An ecotone is a place where two ecosystems connect and create a unique environment different from b…
The Human Shore
Since before recorded history, people have congregated near water. But as growing populations around the globe continue to flow toward the coasts on an unprecedented scale and climate change raises water levels, our relationship to the sea has begun to take on new and potentially catastrophic dimensions. The latest generation of coastal dwellers lives largely in ignorance of the history of those who came before them, the natural environment, and …

Island Sojourns
Islands have long held a central place in Western cultures' mythical geographies. They have been associated for centuries with heroic journeys and holy quests, imagined realms of magical transformations. Islands have also been sites of significant rites of passage, and they continue to perform this function in the modern secular world. Today, popular islomania is expressed in the frequency of seasonal sojourning on European and American archipela…

Marginalization of Fatherhood in Western Countries
The globalization of the world economy since the 1970s has placed existing definitions of fatherhood under extreme pressure throughout the western world. At the high as well as at the low end of the social scale, men have found it difficult to fulfill the traditional breadwinner role. In all developed countries, there has been a growing incidence of what some have called `fatherless families' due to this and other causes. Many see this as a major…
A Triumph of Hope over Experience”
When Dr Johnson made his famous eighteenth-century remark about second marriages being a triumph of hope over experience, his wit could easily have been directed toward the unions that Steven King has illuminated. It is never entirely clear why people marry or choose to marry the people they do, a situation that is as frustrating to historians as to friends and family. Marriage remains one of life's great mysteries, perhaps the last great mystery…

Making Time for Family
Families are not only subject to time constraints but also produce their own sense of time. The time families live by is not the same as they live with. Historians, who have been primarily concerned with the quantitative dimension, have neglected the phenomenon that is commonly referred to as "quality time.

Political Decay and the European Revolutions, 1789–1848
Until very recently social interpretations of revolution have enjoyed a position of virtual orthodoxy among both historians and social scientists.

They describe a revolutionary situation as one of “multiple dysfunction” in the relations between the political system and the society it serves. Revolution thus interpre…

The modern dimensions of childhood had been developing steadily during the course of the nineteenth century. Adolescence, on the other hand, previously characteristic only of those privileged youngsters who were exempt from early entry into the job market, was beginning in 1900 to involve a much larger part of the p…

The Case against Chronologization
The modern life cycle is normally seen as becoming more standardized and tightly scheduled according to certain age norms. Recent research on the American and British course suggests that the "chronologization" thesis is oversimplified because it ignores social and cultural definitions of aging, discounts diversity by class, ethnic group, and gender, and, furthermore, does not take into account the recent tendency toward a greater fluidity in the…
