Across the metropole, the colonies, and the wider eighteenth-century world, French children and youth participated in a diverse set of state-building initiatives, social reform programs, and imperial expansion efforts. Young Subjects explores the lives and experiences of these youth, revealing their role as active and vital agents in the shaping of early modern France.



Trade Review

“Young Subjects details the daily lives of children with rare richness. This is a very impressive piece of scholarship that shows how indispensable the history of childhood is to understanding France, its empire, and the early modern state.” Bianca Premo, Florida International University and author of Children of the Father King: Youth, Authority, and Legal Minority in Colonial Lima
