A Cultural History of Objects in the Medieval Age covers the period
500 to 1400, examining the creation, use and understanding of
human-made objects and their consequences and impacts. The power
and agency of objects significantly evolved over this time.
Exploring objects and artefacts within art, technology, and
everyday life, the volume challenges our understanding of both life
worlds and object worlds in medieval society. The 6 volume set of
the Cultural History of Objects examines how 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. The themes covered in each volume are objecthood;
technology; economic objects; everyday objects; art; architecture;
bodily objects; object worlds. Julie Lund is Associate Professor at
the University of Oslo, Norway. Sarah Semple is Professor at Durham
University, UK. Volume 2 in the Cultural History of Objects set.
General Editors: Dan Hicks and William Whyte
