Margaret Bird will give an illustrated talk\u00a0‘Inculcating an appreciation of time pressure in the young: the training of\u00a0children for working life in 18th-century England<\/strong>‘.\u00a0All are welcome.\u00a0It will be held on Tuesday 24 March 2015 at 6 pm.<\/p>\n

The talk draws in part on the diary of Mary Hardy, published by Burnham Press in full for the first time in 2013. This research seminar forms part of the regular Tuesday evening series held at\u00a0Royal Holloway, University of London. Details of the venue near Windsor are given later on this page.<\/p>\n

\"Raven<\/a>

Aged seven, Raven Hardy started to list the contents of his mother’s diary. He noted the hangings he and his younger brother had witnessed in April 1774\u00a0[Cozens-Hardy Collection<\/em>]<\/p><\/div>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

The rearing of children has been a topic at the centre of academic debate since the\u00a0Annales<\/em>\u00a0historian Philippe Ari\u00e8s analysed the experience of childhood in his influential study\u00a0Le sentiment de l’enfance<\/em>\u00a0in 1960.<\/p>\n

Margaret Bird’s exploration of the tensions between respecting children as individuals and the need to hurry them into maturity for working life relates to the mercantile and manufacturing class in England.<\/p>\n

Understanding time pressure,\u00a0even\u00a0as young as six, formed part of children’s moulding for their future careers and as useful members of society. Time-conscious capitalism and Calvinism lay behind much of the thinking.<\/p>\n

\"Norwich<\/a>

The Hardys took their children, maids and farm boy to watch public executions at Norwich Castle. Hangings were educative, and served as a warning to the young<\/p><\/div>\n

Young people in the household<\/h3>\n

Children were not the only young people in a middle-class home.\u00a0Maidservants usually began their careers between\u00a0the ages of eleven and fifteen, and the mistress of the household was responsible not only for their training but their moral welfare. In country areas the farm boy, being prepared for life as a farm servant, might start aged ten or eleven. Like the maids he would live in.<\/p>\n

The talk will discuss\u00a0the training and time-awareness inculcated in them by their employers. As the author of an advice book warned servants, ‘You defraud your master if you idle away an hour that should be employed in his business.’ Mary Hardy, and sometimes even that more relaxed clergyman James Woodforde, living only 18 miles away, would note in their diaries the clocking\u00a0out\u00a0and clocking back of servants granted time off for the fair.<\/p>\n

Finding Royal Holloway<\/h3>\n

The college’s Tuesday evening history seminars are open to the public free of charge.<\/p>\n

Margaret Bird, the editor of the diary of Mary Hardy, has been a honorary research fellow in the History department at Royal Holloway since 2006. The seminar on 24 March will be held on the college’s Egham campus on Egham Hill (the A30) in Surrey in the History building (McCrea Room 336) at 6 pm. It will last until about 7.30 or 7.45 pm, with time for questions and discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
