Abstract

This article revisits well-known English Civil War narratives in search of the recoverable fragments of the female and male child and youth experiences that formed part of the transgenerational household realities of this early modern conflict. This focus challenges implicit assumptions in the existing historiography that continue to champion adult, military, and socially elite experiences. The examples provided here discuss female and male youth experiences ranging from royal children to the children of ministers, and an artisan, rendering them more visible. This article is not intended to be a comprehensive account, but rather a challenge for historians to revisit the archives and sources from a child and youth perspective
