This outstanding and original book, presented here with a new
preface, examines the history of material culture in early modern
China. Craig Clunas analyzes ""superfluous things"" - the
paintings, calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics, carved jade, and other
objects owned by the elites of Ming China - and describes
contemporary attitudes to them. He informs his discussions with
reference to both socio-cultural theory and current debates on
eighteenth-century England concerning luxury, conspicuous
consumption, and the growth of the consumer society.
