Energy in the Early Modern Home: Material Cultures of Domestic Energy Consumption in Europe, 1450–1850: Themes in Environmental History
Editat de Wout Saelens, Bruno Blondé, Wouter Ryckboschen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2023
This book delves deeper into the interactions between early modern consumers and the ecological constraints of the world surrounding them. Experts on specific aspects of domestic energy use departing from different case studies in early modern Europe confront these central issues. This book therefore offers a wide range of approaches within a long-term and comparative perspective. Different ‘material cultures of energy’ across time and space and across different climates in Europe are explored.
Ultimately, this book aims to consider how the early modern home not just adapted to energy changes, but perhaps even prepared the way for our modern addiction to fossil energy. Energy in the Early Modern Home is the perfect resource for students and scholars of early modern Europe, premodern environmental history, the history of consumption and material culture, and the history of science and technology.
