Fatherhood

Fatherhood

by Augustine Sedgewick

2026

This ambitious history explores how our understanding of fatherhood, and thus masculinity, has been shaped over millennia. From the Bronze Age to the present day, the book examines pivotal figures—from Aristotle to Bob Dylan—to reveal how evolving ideas of paternal love and power have intertwined. It's a sweeping, insightful look at how we've defined "dad" and how those definitions continue to transform.
