Abstract

Monika Szamik aim in this article is to analyze childhood from the perspective of the father and his role in the life of children in the modern family. Lack of studies on this subject results, among other reasons, from the fact that relevant narrative sources are mostly produced by women over rather than men. Against this background, the poorly known diary of the Zamość burgher Basil Rudomich (approx. 1620—1672) stands out, containing numerous notes about his participation in the upbringing of children and their everyday life. The analysis undertaken by Szamik sheds new light on the role of the father in the modern family, enabling comparisons of different ways of fulfilling this role.
