A Cultural History of Objects in the Renaissance covers the period
1400 to 1600. The Renaissance was a cultural movement, a time of
re-awakening when classical knowledge was rediscovered, leading to
an efflorescence in philosophy, art, and literature. The period
fostered an emerging sense of individualism across European
cultures. This sense was expressed through a fascination with
materiality and the natural world, and a growing attachment to
things. 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.
James Symonds is Professor at the University of Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. Volume 3 in the Cultural History of Objects set.
General Editors: Dan Hicks and William Whyte
