Description

Explore the domestic lives of England's impoverished classes from 1650 to 1850. Published by Manchester University Press, this book examines consumer behavior and material culture through a vast range of diverse sources. It traces the ownership of household goods before, during, and after the Industrial Revolution to understand what it truly meant to be poor during this era. This study challenges the idea that poverty always meant living in squalor with very few possessions. The research reveals how the poor actively sought to improve their domestic spheres and how their demand for goods helped make various items more widespread across society. It provides a unique look at how the working classes engaged with the material world and shaped their own living environments.
