Description

Explore the historical connection between material culture and social change in this academic volume from Routledge. This book examines the modern town as a primary site for the circulation of luxury goods and cultural practices. It covers the long eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a period defined by the transition from a society of scarcity to one of accumulation and expenditure. Readers will gain insights into how social structures shifted from rigid ranks and orders toward greater social mobility. The text tracks the evolution of luxury from its traditional aristocratic roots to new forms embraced by the bourgeoisie and democratic movements. By looking at how luxury functioned as a mechanism for social separation and class identity, this work provides a deep look at the economic and cultural history of European urban centers.
