Schooling and state formation in early modern Sweden / Bengt Sandin.

• Education, Childhood, and State-Formation during the Seventeenth-Century Background -- Public Education and the School System in Stockholm in the Second Half of the Seventeenth Century -- Education for All? Changing Childhoods: Education in Swedish Towns in the Eighteenth Century -- Childhoods and Education in Towns in the Early Nineteenth Century -- Family and School: One Reality and Different Perspectives -- Continuity and Change: Social and Political Space for Children and Childhood. 

• In this book the emergence of schools in urban Sweden between the seventeenth and the nineteenth century provides the framework for a history of children and of childhood. It is a study through the lens of the changes in early modern education, spatial aspect of the life of children and systems of governance in the early modern Swedish state. Educational systems defined the spatial aspects of childhood--where children were supposed to grow up, in the home, the school, the streets and alleys, or the place of work--over a period of about two hundred years. Schools and education represent both a mental and a physical space; an abstract place for children as well as a local and concrete place for them, which stood out against the alternative spatial aspects of the life of children. It is also a study of how different cultural systems influence the definitions of childhood and schools, in the context of church and home instruction, poor relief, policing, surveillance, and the question of why children went to schools. It examines the role of the school as childcare and as a provider of food, shelter and welfare, and as governance.
