A Cultural History of Shopping in the Age of Revolution And Empire
Shopping emerged as a special pleasure and problem during the period between the revolutionary upheavals of the late 18th century and the opening salvoes of the Great War. New shops, new products, new class and gender ideologies, new standards of comfort and hygiene, and rising living standards for some meant that people, especially women, spent more time shopping and engaging in consumer-oriented activities beyond the walls of the shop. At the s…
Physical Attractiveness and the Female Life-Cycle in Seventeenth-Century England
This article draws on evidence from diaries and letters to discuss how women of the aristocracy, gentry and middling-sorts in seventeenth-century England conceptualised their own physical attractiveness and that of other women. Moving beyond histories of fashion and aesthetics, which have prioritised male opinions, the article demonstrates that women recognised the importance of maintaining an attractive appearance across the life-cycle. Particul…

Witnesses were asked both what they were worth in goods, their debts paid, and how they ma…

Women's clothes and female honour in early modern London
This article explores how the reputations and agency of middling and plebeian women in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century London were affected by what they wore. Compared with provincial England, markets for women's clothes in the capital were more diverse and accessible. Ambiguous moral judgments were made of women based on their dress, but many sought to acquire good, fashionable attire as the right clothes would improve their options in terms …

The Heart in the Age of Shakespeare
Studies of the body in various historical contexts have proliferated during the last twenty years, in part due to generous funding opportunities offered to those who wish to study the physical forms of the inhabitants of past societies. Bodies, and most importantly their component parts, deserve the attentions lavished upon them by academics; after all, although everyone who has ever lived was unique, each person possessed a physical form, and ea…
