Description

Among the elementary human stories, parenthood has tended to go without saying.

Compared to the spectacular attachments of romantic love, it is only the predictable sequel.

Compared to the passions of childhood, it is just a background.

But in recent decades, far-reaching changes in typical family forms and in procreative possibilities (through reproductive technologies) have brought out new questions.

Why do people want (or not want) to be parents? How has the'choice' first enabled by contraception changed the meaning of parenthood?

Looking not only at new parental parts but at older parental stories, in novels and other works, this fascinating book offers fresh angles and arguments for thinking about parenthood today.
