How has the activity of shopping changed over the centuries? And
what does it tell us about the lives and interests of people living
within different cultures? In a work that spans 2,500 years, these
questions are addressed by 55 experts, each contributing an
overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help
of a broad range of case material they illustrate broad trends and
nuances of the culture of shopping from antiquity to the present.
Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole and, to
make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are the same
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 history by reading the relevant chapter in each of
the six. The six volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (500 BCE to 500 CE);
2 - Middle Ages (500 to 1450); 3 - Early Modern Age (1450 to 1650);
4 - Age of Enlightenment (1650 to 1820); 5 - Age of Revolution and
Empire (1820 to 1920); 6 - Modern Age (1920 to 2000+). Themes and
chapter titles are: Practices and Processes; Spaces and Places;
Shoppers and Identities; Luxury and Everyday; Home and Family;
Visual and Literary Representations; Reputation, Trust and Credit;
and Governance, Regulation and the State. The page extent for the
pack is approximately 1,700 pp. Each volume opens with Notes on
Contributors and an Introduction by the Volume Editor and concludes
with Notes, Bibliography and an Index. The Cultural Histories
Series A Cultural History of Shopping 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 on perpetual access (see
www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
