1 Another example of the “sentiments” approach is Stone, L.The Family, Sex and Marriage in England, 1500–1800 (London, 1977Google Scholar). There is a critical discussion of this approach in Anderson, M., Approaches to the History of the Western Family 1500–1914, (London, 1980), ch. 3CrossRefGoogle Scholar; see also Scott, J. W., “The history of the family as an affective unit,” Social History, 4, 509–16 (1979CrossRefGoogle Scholar). Thomas's highly critical review of Stone's book is illuminating; Times Literary Supplement, 21 10 1977, 1226–27Google Scholar.
