This volume is part of the Early Sociology of Family series, which brings together landmark writings in the field of family studies from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The series includes influential works by notable sociologists such as McLennan, Starcke, Crawley, Maine, Hartland, and Westermarck.

The collection traces the sociology of the family from its origins in the anthropological study of kinship during the late nineteenth century and continues through the early twentieth century. It explores significant studies on family relations, offering practical solutions to issues like domestic breakdown, violence, and the rise of the single-parent family. These studies lay the foundation for modern family studies, with an emphasis on understanding family roles and problems.
