Abstract
This chapter turns its gaze from motherhood to fatherhood. It focuses upon fatherhood as practised by different historical generations and how practices change or are transmitted from fathers to sons in particular families. In keeping with the methodology we have sought to balance a concern with the life course and the significance of historical context with the interpretations interviewees bring to the recounting of their lives in work and care. This is a difficult task not least in presenting the analysis, given the wealth and depth of the material provided by members of the multi-generation families interviewed.
