Food and Cognition: Henry Norwood’s A Voyage to Virginia
Through the lens of Henry Norwood’s A Voyage to Virginia , a harrowing account of a royalist exile’s 1649–1650 journey from Oliver Cromwell’s England to British America, this chapter explores the interplay of material culture and cognition. The coevolution of things and people, however, is not just about “how” we know and evolve with and through things but also about aesthetics and affect in everyday life. Norwood punctuates the account of his jo…
Town House: Architecture and Material Life in the Early American City, 1780-1830
What houses tell us about the lives of those who dwelled within? In this abundantly illustrated volume, Bernard L. Herman provides a history of urban dwellings and the people who built and lived in them in early America. In the eighteenth century, cities were constant objects of idealization, often viewed as the outward manifestations of an organized, civil society. As the physical objects that composed the largest portion of urban settings, town…
Building the British Atlantic World: "Spaces, Places, and Material Culture, 1600-1850"
Building the British Atlantic World is the first book to articulate the shared architectural history of the British Atlantic world; the first to consider British, North American, Caribbean and African colonial architectures, spaces and places together as the products of a common British Atlantic culture. Atlantic History is a well-established field, however, of the numerous studies available buildings and their fundamental role in framing and mai…

On Being German in British America: Gravestones and the Inscription of Identity
Through the example of Pennsylvania-German gravestones notable for the absence of written text, this essay examines how a family of distinctive objects sets the mind and historical imagination in motion. The markers, ranging from simple silhouettes to elaborately carved memorials, ask us how these objects did the work of memory, what was remembered, and how things construct identity through conversational fields and inscriptive practices
