| Description: | Select Guide Rating This inspiring new study is based on the established key theme of consumption – selecting and purchasing goods, attending plays, promenading – and explores the ways in which these were related through the shop, the theatre and the street. Consumption is well established as a key theme in the study of the eighteenth century. Spaces of Consumption brings a new dimension to this subject by looking at it spatially. Taking English towns as its scene, this inspiring study focuses on moments of consumption – selecting and purchasing goods, attending plays, promenading – and explores the ways in which these were related together through the spaces of the town: the shop, the theatre and the street. Using this fresh form of analysis, it has much to say about sociability, politeness and respectability in the eighteenth century. |
