Catechisms Written for Mothers, Schoolmistresses and Children, 1575-1750 - Paula McQuade - Bog

Early modern mother-directed catechisms, like traditional catechisms, use the question-and-answer format to present the basic tenets of the Protestant faith. But such catechisms differ from traditional ones in how they represent the mother-child relationship. This book shows how they provide insight into constructions of early modern maternity.
