Didier Lett

Didier Lett is a French historian and specialist in medieval studies, recognized for his extensive research on childhood in the Middle Ages. His recent work, 'Enfants au Moyen Age,' challenges longstanding views about medieval attitudes toward children, particularly those propagated by modernist Philippe Ariès. Lett's scholarship emphasizes the affectionate bonds and care that medieval families had for their children, countering the narrative that children were neglected during this period.
