Material Literacy in Eighteenth-Century Britain: A Nation of Makers (Material Culture of Art and Design)

Pazarlama ve Satış

The eighteenth century has been hailed for its revolution in consumer culture, but this volume repositions Britain as a nation of makers. It brings new attention to eighteenth-century craftswomen and men with its focus on the material knowledge possessed not only by professional artisans and amateur makers, but also by skilled consumers. This collection invites us into the workshops, drawing rooms, and backrooms of a broad range of creators, uncovering how production and tacit knowledge extended beyond the factories and machines which dominate industrial histories. It illuminates, for the first time, the material literacies learnt, enacted, and understood by British producers and consumers. Material Literacy in Eighteenth-Century Britain gathers together an exciting group of interdisciplinary scholars working in the fields of art history, history, literature, and museum studies to unearth the tactile and tacit knowledge that underpinned fashion, tailoring, and textile production. The skills required for sewing, embroidering, and the textile arts were possessed by a large proportion of the British population: men, women and children, professional and amateur alike. Building on previous studies of shoppers and consumption in the period, as well as narratives of manufacture, this collection documents the multiplicity of small producers behind Britain's consumer revolution, reshaping our understanding of the dynamics between making and objects, consumption and production. It demonstrates how material knowledge formed an essential part of daily life for eighteenth-century Britons. Craft technique, practice, and production, our contributors show, constituted forms of tactile languages that joined makers together, whether they produced objects for profit or pleasure.
