A Cultural History of Youth presents historians, and scholars and students of related fields, with the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the cultural history of youth from ancient times to modernity. With six highly illustrated volumes covering 2,500 years, this is the definitive reference work on the subject, comprising:

Volume 1: A Cultural History of Youth in Antiquity (500BC-500AD) Christian Laes, University of Manchester, UK, and Ville Vuolanto, University of Tampere, Finland.

Volume 2: A Cultural History of Youth in the Medieval Age (500-1450)

Volume 3: A Cultural History of Youth in the Renaissance (1450-1650)

Volume 4: A Cultural History of Youth in the Age of Enlightenment (1650-1800)

Volume 5: A Cultural History of Youth in the Age of Empire (1800-1920)

Volume 6: A Cultural History of Youth in the Modern Age (1920-2000+)

Each volume adopts the same thematic structure, covering: Concepts of Youth; Spaces and Places; Education and Work; Leisure and Play; Emotions, Gender, Sexuality and the Body; Belief and Ideology; Authority and Agency; War and Conflict and Towards a World History, enabling readers to trace one theme throughout history, as well as gaining a thorough overview of each individual period.
