Recenzii

"A magnificent effort. A New Nation of Goods effectively merges commerce and culture as twinned engines that promoted the democratization of knowledge and the commercialization of the countryside. The range of material things covered in this book is impressive, from paintings to prints, from clocks to chairs, from sideboards to daguerreotypes, to mention but a few."-Robert Blair St. George, University of Pennsylvania "A New Nation of Goods has much to recommend it. Interdisciplinary, the work leverages a wealth of sources, from probate inventories and census records to patent applications and auction catalogs. It ... asks us to reconsider many of our long-standing assumptions about the diffusion of culture in rural communities and the relative pace and influence of market activity."-Journal of the Early Republic
