The Science of the Child in Liberal Italy

Luisa Tasca,

About this book

This book investigates a forgotten chapter of history: the role of Italian scienceswithin the child study movement. Between the 1880s and the First World War, children became the focus ofunprecedented professional and scientific interest in Europe and the United States. The bodies and psychesof children, their care and growth, their development, 'normal' and 'abnormal', intelligence, andmoral sense, constituted a new field of research. Italy, which had just become a nation, also took part in thisinternational 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.
