Download or read book Family Cycles written by Allan C. Carlson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paradigm-shifting volume, Allan C. Carlson identifies and examines four distinct cycles of strength or weakness of American family systems. This distinctly American family model includes early and nearly universal marriage, high fertility, close attention to parental responsibilities, complementary gender roles, meaningful intergenerational bonds, and relative stability. Notably, such traits distinguish the "strong" American family system from the "weak" European model (evident since 1700), which involves late marriage, a high proportion of the adult population never married, significantly lower fertility, and more divorces.The author shows that these cycles of strength and weakness have occurred, until recently, in remarkably consistent fifty-year swings in the United States since colonial times. The book's chapters are organized around these 50-year time frames. There have been four family cycles of strength and decline since 1630, each one lasting about one hundred years. The author argues that fluctuations within this cyclical model derive from intellectual, economic, cultural, and religious influences, which he explores in detail, and supports with considerable evidence.

The first part of the trilogy introduces the Moorhouse family - Arthur, the successful business man and first of the family to move to Glasgow; David, the dashing and impulsive socialite; Bel, driven by ruthless social ambition; and, Pheobe, the half-sister from the Highlands who grows up to be a great beauty. The second and third volumes follow the changing fortunes of the family, as their lives are touched by triumph and tragedy - in Glasgow at the height of the Victorian era, and in Vienna, glittering capital of the Hapsburg Empire.

Book excerpt: Aunt Bel is the sequel to The Wax Fruit Trilogy, the story of the Moorhouse family and their rise from humble beginnings in rural Ayrshire to a position of wealth and influence in Victorian Glasgow. As the Victorian era draws to a close, Bel Moorhouse seems to have everything she ever wanted - prosperity, security, an ideal husband and, above all, a prominent place in respectable Glasgow society. Years of ruthless social ambition and an insatiable desire to succeed have seen Bel and her family rise to heights they could hardly have dreamed of when they first came to Glasgow. But Bel's well-ordered world is not as secure as it seems. Beneath the facade of polite convention and cosy ritual, trouble is brewing, bringing with it the spectre of disgrace and the ruin of everything she holds most dear.
