The concept of the household-family -- 2. The concept of the household-family in novels and conduct treatises -- 3. The concept of the lineage-family -- 4. The language of kinship -- 5. Friends -- 6. Political friends -- 7. Ideas about friendship and the constructions of friendship in literary texts.This 2001 book concerns the history of the family in eighteenth-century England. Naomi Tadmor provides an interpretation of concepts of household, family and kinship starting from her analysis of contemporary language (in the diaries of Thomas Turner; in conduct treatises by Samuel Richardson and Eliza Haywood; in three novels, Richardson's Pamela and Clarissa and Haywood's The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless and a variety of other sources). Naomi Tadmor emphasises the importance of the household in constructing notions of the family in the eighteenth century. She uncovers a vibrant language of kinship which recasts our understanding of kinship ties in the period. She also shows how strong ties of 'friendship' formed vital social, economic and political networks among kin and non-kin. Family and Friends in Eighteenth-Century England makes a substantial contribution to eighteenth-century history, and will be of value to all historians and literary scholars of the period.Patronage, PoliticalEnglandHistory18th centuryHouseholdsEnglandHistory18th centuryFriendshipEnglandHistory18th centuryKinshipEnglandHistory18th centuryFamiliesEnglandHistory18th centuryEnglandSocial life and customs18th centuryPatronage, PoliticalHistoryHouseholdsHistoryFriendshipHistoryKinshipHistoryFamiliesHistory306.85/0942/09033Tadmor Naomi1663947MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812485203321Family and friends in eighteenth-century England4021648UNINA
