Between the 1880s and the First World War, children became the focus of unprecedented professional and scientific interest in Europe and the United States. The bodies and psyches of children, their care and growth, their development, 'normal' and 'abnormal', intelligence, and moral sense, constituted a new field of research. Italy, which had just become a nation, also took part in this international movement: on the study of the child, a substantial part of the Italian ruling class launched itself, with a mixture of enthusiasm, hope and concern, on the frontier between different areas of knowledge. Using a broad spectrum of sources, this book offers the first overview of the Italian scientific movement of child study. Luisa Tasca is an Independent Researcher based in Florence, Italy. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Childhood,$x2634-6540 606 $aItaly$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aChildren's literature 606 $aHistory of Italy 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aIntellectual History 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aChildren's Literature 615 0$aItaly$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aChildren's literature. 615 14$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aChildren's Literature. 676 $a320.51 700 $aTasca$b Luisa$0327691 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910899897903321 996 $aThe Science of the Child in Liberal Italy$94213985 997 $aUNINA
