First published in 1983, the origin of this book is found in an article where the author attempted to relate traditional research on the family to developments in historical enquiry and Marxist scholarship. The aim here is to explain the character of the contemporary family by placing it in a wider historical and theoretical perspective.

First published in 1969, this introduction to the social study of the family was designed both for students of sociology and for students of related subjects requiring familiarity with a similar approach. It is therefore written in language as simple as possible; technical terms are only introduced when indispensable and are always defined.
