Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 2009.

The modern concept of the bigenerational household, knit together by biological connections and physical proximity, gained its recognizable shape in the Middle Ages. At the same time, there was little vocabulary in medieval England to describe the nuclear family. The term familia included not only biological kin, but also servants; and sib referred not only to siblings, but also to friends and relatives. This supple concept of "family" is reflected in and expanded upon by the texts that make up the core of this dissertation: despite an acknowledgment of kinship in the Middle Ages as a product of biology or proximity, these texts explore a social, moral, and religious kinship achieved not through birth, marriage, or physical proximity, but rather through a process of learning, understood in these texts as a familial act located in the terms and experiences of childhood.

520 $a The modern concept of the bigenerational household, knit together by biological connections and physical proximity, gained its recognizable shape in the Middle Ages. At the same time, there was little vocabulary in medieval England to describe the nuclear family. The term familia included not only biological kin, but also servants; and sib referred not only to siblings, but also to friends and relatives. This supple concept of "family" is reflected in and expanded upon by the texts that make up the core of this dissertation: despite an acknowledgment of kinship in the Middle Ages as a product of biology or proximity, these texts explore a social, moral, and religious kinship achieved not through birth, marriage, or physical proximity, but rather through a process of learning, understood in these texts as a familial act located in the terms and experiences of childhood.
520 $a By examining a range of texts that represent a wide variety of generic forms, authorial interests, and potential audiences, including the romance Sir Gowther, lyrics about illegitimate pregnancy, religious lullabies, and Chaucer's Treatise on the Astrolabe and Canterbury Tales, I argue that these texts are crucial to our understanding both of the importance of a nonbiological understanding of kinship, established through education, to the medieval English cultural imaginary of childhood, and of late medieval English society as profoundly structured by such notions of a kinship predicated upon childhood learning.
