In this book the eighteenth century Enlightenment receives an
important reassessment, using an astonishing range of materials and
objects drawn from Europe and beyond, including artefacts from
India and China, West Africa and Polynesia. A series of
authoritative essays written by experts in the field explores the
full range of material culture in the long eighteenth century,
raising crucial questions about notions of property and invention,
homely and commercial lives. The book also includes a series of
well-illustrated exhibits, a startling and provocative assemblage
of objects from the Enlightenment world, each accompanied by expert
commentaries. The collection of essays and exhibits is the result
of collaborative debate by scholars from Europe and north America,
who have together worked on the cross-disciplinary importance of
material history in making sense of how past society was
fundamentally transformed through the world of goods.
