How have objects have been created, used, interpreted and set loose
in the world over the last 2500 years? Over this time, the West has
developed particular attitudes to the material world, at the centre
of which is the idea of the object. This set brings together over
50 scholars, in 1776 pages, to examine how the world of human
subjects shapes and is shaped by the world of material objects.
Chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives
the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the
volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the
relevant chapter in each of the six. The themes (and chapter
titles) are: Objecthood; Technology; Economic Objects; Everyday
Objects; Art; Architecture; Bodily Objects; Object Worlds. The six
volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (500 BCE to 500 CE); 2 - Medieval Age
(500 to 1400); 3 - Renaissance (1400 to 1600); 4 - Age of
Enlightenment (1600 to 1760); 5 - Age of Industry (1760 to 1900); 6
- Modern Age (1900 to the present). The Cultural Histories Series A
Cultural History of Objects is part of The Cultural Histories
Series. Titles are available both as printed hardcover sets for
libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off purchase
and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a
fully-searchable digital library available to institutions by
annual subscription or perpetual access (see
www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
