"What can we learn about the past by studying things? How does the meaning of things,
and our relationship to them, change over time? This fascinating collection taps a
rich vein of recent scholarship to explore a variety of approaches to the material
culture of the early modern world (c.1500-1800). Divided into six parts this book
explores; the ambiguity of things, representing things, making things, empires of
things, consuming things and lastly the power of things. Spanning across the early
modern world, from Ming dynasty China to Georgian England, and from Ottoman Egypt
to Spanish America, the authors provide a generous set of examples in how to study
the circulation, use, consumption and, most fundamentally, the nature of things themselves.
Drawing on a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and lavishly illustrated, Early
Modern Things supplies fresh and provocative insights into how objects - ordinary
and extraordinary, secular and sacred, natural and man-made - came to define some
of the key developments of the early modern world. This book will be essential reading
for all those interested in the early modern world."--Publisher's website
