| Abstract | "This book 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. Now in its second edition, it 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). Drawing on a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and lavishly illustrated, this is essential reading for all those interested in the early modern world and the history of material culture"-- Provided by publisher. |
