Description

Explore how luxury shaped European urban society across two transformative centuries in this scholarly volume from the Routledge Studies in Cultural History series. This book examines the critical period from the long eighteenth through nineteenth centuries, when European towns became centres of material and cultural circulation. It traces the fundamental shift from societies defined by scarcity to ones centred on expenditure and accumulation, from rigid hierarchical ranks and orders to expanding social mobility, and from exclusive aristocratic luxury to emerging bourgeois and democratic forms of consumption. The work reveals how luxury functioned as both a mechanism of social separation and a shared aspiration across all classes, offering fresh insights into gender dynamics, consumer culture, and urban development during this pivotal era of economic and social transformation.
