A range of scholars, including historians, archaeologists, conservationists, art historians and those working in English literature, have contributed to this interdisciplinary project and a concerted effort is also made to highlight the importance of conversations between academics and curators, in order to situate the continuing history of objects, particularly how they are conserved, restored and displayed in museums, within material culture’s wider narrative. It is acknowledged that the study of pre-modern material culture is often dominated by an Italian or English perspective, but the hope expressed by the editors is that the collection will stimulate further debate within the field rather than hardening this point of view.</p><p>The essays are organized according to themes, such as “Material Religion” and “Evidence and Interpretation,” but an alternative table of contents is provided which also groups them in relation to objects, demonstrating how different material goods can perform similar functions, while also belonging to discrete categories. The approaches taken by the different writers are varied, as are the objects discussed—ranging from pins and hats, to bagpipes and crockery.</p><p>Several of the contributors make use of inventories in order to consider the ways in which people classified and identified particular objects, producing a relationship between text and object which raises questions about descriptive language and lexical choice. Sheila Sweetinburgh examines an inventory of wooden mazers (bowls) from Christ Church priory in Canterbury, arguing that they perform a specific memorial function as they continue to be identified as belonging to particular monks, long after they have died. Kate Giles re-furnishes a guild hall in Boston, Lincolnshire, with the religious objects found in inventories and Stephen Wharton places an Italian manuscript on the art of pottery alongside the inventory of a potter’s wares from his workshop. There is also an effort to think carefully about those objects which are defined by their breakability, or indeed their absence from the historical record. Sara Pennell restores the importance of broken pots to everyday living, the servants’ fear of breaking china, and the tinker who would mend teapot handles, forcing a reappraisal of the “whole” pots found in museums. John J. Thompson uses visual sources to resurrect the early bagpipe, of which there are no longer any surviving examples, and Flora Dennis discusses the silent presence of musical notation on paper fans and the way in which brass handbells challenge the ephemeral nature of sound.</p><p>Objects also have the ability to be transformed by their owners. Richard L. Williams looks at a playing card, the three of hearts, which has had a crucifixion scene painted onto the reverse. This portable religious icon formed a triptych and could have been used as an altar, revealing how the ephemeral and mundane can take on loaded meaning. R. N. Swanson discusses the incorporation of a devotional image of Christ as a man of sorrows into a book of hours and Ryan Perry considers how books were not only often commissioned to particular specifications, but how book inventories could be read as statements of ideological affiliation and material symbols of status and prestige.</p><p>The relationship between objects and the body is a recurring motif and Giorgio Riello considers how an examination of shoes inevitably leads to questions about walking. Jenny Tiramani’s inspection of pins and aglets found at the Rose theatre site raises the question of how the use of pins to hold together fabric modified the way that people moved and interacted, as they were always wary of suffering from unwanted pricks. The haptic qualities of carved wood used to represent biblical scenes on chairs and ornamentals over fireplaces considered by Tara Hamling, also remind us that objects were tactile, they were touched and held, as well as looked at, a sensory experience of particular importance to devotional practice. Objects could also serve a talismanic or symbolic function, from cache finds secreted in houses, such as the boy’s doublet discovered under the attic floorboards of a house in Abingdon discussed by Maria Hayward and Dinah Eastop, to the hats given as gifts or tokens during courtship which end up recorded in court depositions examined by Catherine Richardson.</p><p>Objects are often directly associated with the people that made them and Natasha Korda places alien Dutch craftswomen, and their wares, into play texts which use rebatoes (starched linen collars) as props, raising questions about the relationship between the foreign and the domestic on the stage. Tarnya Cooper and Robert Tittler both reappraise the function of portraits when placed within a domestic or civic space, on the one hand testifying to the enduring value of the sitter over aesthetics, and on the other, the association of portraits with particular civic virtues.</p><p>The study of material culture can help to resurrect missing artifacts, as mentioned in the form of inventories, but also through records attesting to the mending or refurbishment of objects or their commissioning process. Jonathan Willis argues that parish records documenting the repair and maintenance of organs and the tools for recording pricksong are testament to an enduring musical environment in churches during the reformation. David Gaimster similarly uses a published list of the objects required by a new settler to Jamestown, “The Inconveniencies,” to think through the choices made about usefulness and necessity for those embarking to the New World.</p><p>The study of material culture is not without problems with regards to methodology and Stephen Kelly argues that there is a danger that we often reduce objects to a form of metonymy, allowing the thing to take on a burden of meaning that is ultimately unsupportable. Mark Chambers and Louise Sylvester also raise the issue of lexical confusion in relation to the naming of different textiles, problematizing the process of identification and categorization. Lena Cowen Orlin asks the wider question of whether early moderns attached sentimental meaning to particular objects at all. Examining wills and objects left “in remembrance,” she uncovers the often practical and unsentimental focus upon financial value over symbolic resonance. It is also worth noting that nearly all of the essays center upon objects associated with institutions of the “middling-sort,” emphasizing the difficulty of appraising the material culture of those from lower social groupings, as their “everyday objects have disappeared from view.”</p><p>While the sheer variety of objects considered, along with the differing approaches of the contributors, can be a little overwhelming, this collection ultimately attests to the rich and varied material life of people from the medieval and early modern periods and places a laudable emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach. The result is an enjoyable text which demands a place for the everyday within the study of pre-modern cultures. In sum, this collection provides an invaluable resource for scholars and students of the medieval and early modern periods.</p></body></article></istex:document></istex:metadataXml><mods version="3.6"><titleInfo><title>Hamling, Tara, and Catherine Richardson, eds.
