A social history of the Western family examining the transformation from older household structures toward the modern nuclear family, with attention to marriage, sexuality, parent-child relationships and changing ideas of domestic life.

Edward Shorter traces social and cultural changes across Europe and North America over several centuries, arguing that shifts in affection, courtship and family relationships played a central role in the emergence of modern family life.
