Philippe Ariès’s discovery of childhood after fifty years: The impact of a classic study on educational research
This article looks at the impact of Philippe Aries's classic L'Enfant et la vie familiale sous l'ancien regime, published in 1960. His well-known idea of the emergence of 'Le sentiment de l'enfance' caused a lively debate among historians and social scientists resulting in fundamental contributions to our knowledge about the early phase of the life cycle and about family life in former times. Moreover, Aries introduced a new and innovative use of…
“Away with all my pleasant things in the world…”: Model death‐bed accounts of two young victims of the plague of 1664 in the Dutch town of Leyden
One of the most successful religious children’s books ever written is James Janeway’s A Token for Children (1671/1672). This book offers 13 examples of “well‐dying” children, including the death‐beds of two Dutch children. Details concerning the background of those children are lacking in the English‐language historiography of children’s literature. Janeway borrowed their stories from a broadsheet, published in English in 1666, describing the “la…
Learning from Seneca: A Stoic perspective on the art of living and education
There is an increasing interest in publications about the sources of meaning in life; books about the art of living are immensely popular. This article discusses whether one of the ancient predecessors of current ‘art of living’ theories, the Stoa and more particularly Seneca, can be of interest to educators today. Seneca's explicit writings on education are relatively few, but in his letters to his friend Lucilius we find several ideas as to how…
Moral Panic and Holland’s Libertine Youth of the 1650s and 1660s
During the 1650s and 1660s, the Dutch Republic witnessed a wave of moral panic created by moralists. Every natural disaster, economic setback, and war that the Republic was involved in was considered to be a sign of God’s wrath on Holland’s newly acquired freedom, wealth, and secular society. Much of the finger-pointing was directed toward Holland’s young people, who were accused of being vain, defying the Sabbath, visiting the theater, gambling,…
On the Use and Abuse of Great Educators: The Case of Comenius in the Low Countries
This article presents an overview of four centuries of Dutch reactions to the seventeenth‐century educationalist and philosopher J. A. Comenius. Threephases in this reception history are proposed: disregard, denouncement and deification. After this summary account, the article goes into more detail with a review of two examples of what may be considered as abuses of Comenius’ ideas. Firstly, it reports on the misinterpretation of Comenius by Dutc…
Die Reformierte Kirche Und Die Jugend Im 17. Und 18. Jahrhundert: Eine Untersuchung Von Predigten Und Anderer Erbaulicher Literatur
During the 17th and 18th centuries the Dutch Reformed Church was very much concerned with youth, as appears from sermons and other works of edification and moral guidance. In this paper we present the results of an investigation of the ideas about youth and especially adolescence, recorded in the works of pietistic pedagogues, moderate Calvinists and more enlightened preachers. In this way continuities and changes over time as well as similaritie…
