The material body
This volume explores the possibilities of studying embodied subjects in the past through the sources and approaches of archaeology, history and material culture studies. It draws on collections of human remains, material culture and documentary evidence from Britain during the period 1700–1850, considering the themes of gender, rank, age, disability and maternity. Each chapter looks at the lived experiences of the material body, bringing together…
Material Body
Rabbits, Whigs and Hunters
Following a prolonged miscarriage in the spring, Mary Toft – a poor woman from the Surrey town of Godalming – began giving birth to parts of animals in the autumn of 1726. Reportedly beginning with initial deliveries of parts of cats, pigs and rabbits in September, Toft's deliveries were soon exclusively of rabbits and these continued to appear until mid November. Historians have focused on the medical and wider cultural context of the episode. O…

What Mary Toft Felt
In autumn 1726, Mary Toft began to deliver rabbits in Godalming, Surrey. The case became a sensation and was reported widely in newspapers, popular pamphlets, poems and caricatures. Toft was attended by at least six different doctors, some members of the Royal College of Physicians or attached to the Royal Court, but no doctor declared the affair a hoax until Toft herself confessed on 7 December 1726. This article focuses on Toft's three survivin…
History and Material Culture
Sources are the raw material of history, but where the written word has traditionally been seen as the principal source, today historians are increasingly recognizing the value of sources beyond text. In History and Material Culture, Karen Harvey embarks upon a discussion about material culture – considering objects, often those found surrounding us in day to day life, as sources, which can help historians develop new interpretations and new know…
Words into Practice
This chapter shows how in their writing and speech middling‐sort men gave meaning to their actions using the language of ‘oeconomy’. The chapter argues that men lived oeconomically, as well as wrote about living oeconomically. Men used the word and the concept to judge the actions of themselves and other men. The chapter also shows that men of the middling‐sort were involved in the household at different levels, but particularly at the macro leve…
Conclusion
This concluding chapter examines the wider implications of oeconomy as a model and practice of domestic patriarchy. It explores middling‐sort men's efforts in ensuring that these practices were transmitted between different generations, arguing that this constituted a form of inheritance that created lineages for the consolidating middling sort. Oeconomical practices were also reproduced between men of different ranks, though in ways that sustain…
Keeping House
This chapter examines the domestic objects and spaces that were meaningful for men and explores how men's domestic engagement and domestic authority was legitimized by the material culture of the house. In ‘keeping house’, men managed goods and people over which they exercised proprietorship, even if legally they did not own them. In doing so, the chapter shows, men rooted themselves and their authority in the physical body of the house. Men enga…
The Language of Oeconomy
This chapter explore the concepts which shaped contemporaries’ understanding of men's relationship with the house and household. Focusing on printed works, it establishes the discourse of ‘oeconomy’ as the key to understanding men's (and women's) engagements with the domestic in the eighteenth century. The chapter shows that a language of strict order and deference dominated during the long eighteenth century, created from a fusion of older patri…
Identity and Authority
Arguments for a decline in ‘old‐style patriarchy’ rest to some extent on the view that a new individualized self — created partly from new forms of autobiographical writing — emerged during the eighteenth century, militating against the authority of the domestic patriarch. This chapter decouples personal identity from an individualist ‘self’. It examines not the new printed autobiography but men's manuscript writing of both narrative and non‐narr…
The Little Republic
The relationship between men and the domestic in eighteenth-century Britain has, until now, been obscure. The Little Republic rescues the engagement of men with the house from this obscurity, better equipping historians to understand masculinity, the domestic environment and domestic patriarchy. This book reconstructs men's experiences of the house, examining the authority that accrued to mundane and everyday household practices and employing men…

Ces vingt dernières années ont vu le développement de l'histoire du corps et de la sexualité. Cherchant à historiciser les différences entre les sexes, les historiens ont pour la plupart intégré l'étude du corps et de la sexualité à l'histoire des femmes et du genre. L'objet de cet article est la place du corps et de la sexualité dans l'histoire des femmes et du genre. De récents travaux avancent l'idée que le xviiie siècle - envisagé dans des bo…
A Place Called Sex
In the historiography of the long eighteenth century, both the city and the body became ‘modern’. This article explores how particular spaces and bodies were mutually constitutive in eighteenth-century erotica. The changing understandings of bodies and gender of enlightened modernity have been located in pornographic and erotic material, and this material has itself been regarded as the epitome of the Enlightenment. In analysing the characteristi…
