| Sumario: | We live in a material world - our homes are filled with things, from electronics to curios and hand-me-downs, that disclose as much about us and our aspirations as they do about current trends. But we are not the first: the early modern period was a time of expanding consumption, when objects began to play an important role in defirming gender as well as social status. This work reconstructs the material lives of 17-century Romans, exploring new ways of thinking about the meaning of things as a historical phenomenon. |
