The Origins Of The Consumer Revolution In England From Brass Pots To Clocks First Edition 1st Edition Joanne Sear Ken Sneath by Joanne Sear & Ken Sneath instant download after payment.

The Origins of the Consumer Revolution in England explores the rise of consumerism
from the end of the medieval period through to the beginning of the nineteenth
century...
The book takes a detailed look at when the ‘consumer revolution’ began, tracing
its evolution from the years following the Black Death through to the nineteenth
century. In doing so, it also considers which social classes were included, and how
different areas of the country were affected at different times, examining the significant
role that location played in the development of consumption. This new study
is based upon the largest database of English probate records yet assembled, which
has been used in conjunction with a range of other sources to offer a broad and
detailed chronological approach. Filling in the gaps within previous research, it
examines changing patterns in relation to food and drink, clothing, household furnishings
and religion, focussing on the goods themselves to illuminate items in
common ownership, rather than those owned only by the elite.
Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence to explore the
development of consumption, The Origins of the Consumer Revolution in England
will be of great use and interest to scholars and students of late medieval and
early modern economic and social history, with an interest in the development
of consumerism in England.
