This four-volume edition of primary source materials documents the
histories of design across the long nineteenth century. Each volume
is arranged by appropriate sub-themes and it is the first set of
primary sources to be gathered together in this comprehensive and
accessible format. Design refers to more than simply products and
personalities or even cultural ideas, it involves consideration of
ways of design thinking and applications as well as the
philosophies and the other disciplines that impinge upon it. Here,
the first volume discusses the theories and discourses that
underpinned nineteenth-century design, ranging from design reform
to aesthetics, and from the question of ornament to design
education. The second volume looks at the designed objects, images
and spaces that were created in the period. These include
discussion of design in interiors, industry, fashion, graphics and
architecture amongst others. The third volume considers the issues
of design production and practices including debates about the role
of machine and craft and the impact of new materials and
technologies. The last volume looks at actors, intermediaries and
mediators associated with the design domain. Taken together these
sources, with their contextual introductions and headnotes, present
a valuable overview of a broadly defined design culture during the
long nineteenth century. The volumes will be of interest to a range
of scholars and students, including those in art and design
history, visual culture, and nineteenth-century material culture.
They will also be of interest to a broad range of scholars working
in areas including aesthetics, gender, politics and philosophy.
