DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Recent literature has identified modern “parenting” as an expert-led practice—one which begins with pre-pregnancy decisions, entails distinct types of intimate relationships, places intense burdens on mothers and increasingly on fathers too. Exploring within diverse historical and global contexts how men and women make—and break—relations between generations when becoming parents, this volume brings together innovative qualitative research by anthropologists, historians, and sociologists. The chapters focus tightly on inter-generational transmission and demonstrate its importance for understanding how people become parents and rear children.

There is an overture for a stage production on which Collins collaborated with Charles Dickens; a number of pieces that reflect the popularity of The Woman in White (1860), which rocketed Collins to superstardom; and, forming the heart of the anthology, twenty ballads, patriotic songs, and traditional tunes that would have been well known to Collins's English (and American) readers. Among the twenty-two composers represented are: Francesco Berger (a regular at Dickens’s Sunday-evening card games); the prolific Walter Burnot, whose business card read “Songs Written While You Wait”; Charles Dibdin, and John Davy, as well as four women: Frances Arkwright, Clara Angela Macirone, Virtue Millard, and the mysterious American called “The Veiled Lady.” In all, the songbook provides an informative and entertaining romp through the everyday music of “Wilkie’s World.”
