| Summary | "Social Life in the Reign of Queen Anne, Taken from Original Sources" by John Ashton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the intricacies of societal customs, traditions, and daily life during the reign of Queen Anne, delving into topics such as childhood and education, marriage, and various cultural practices of the time. Through original sources, the book aims to paint a vivid picture of the social dynamics that defined the early 18th century in England. The opening of the text sets the stage by introducing themes surrounding childhood and education for both boys and girls in Queen Anne's era. It discusses the treatment of infants and early childhood experiences, touching upon the limitations and peculiarities of educational practices, including the role of wet nurses, nursery toys, and the emphasis on classical learning for boys. Additionally, the narrative highlights the contrasting educational experiences of girls in boarding schools, the instruction in domestic skills, and the significance of dancing lessons, illustrating the gender-specific expectations placed on children during this period. Through these observations, readers gain insight into the societal norms that governed life at the time, paving the way for a thorough exploration of other facets of social life throughout the book.
