Recenzii
"This book is a useful reference volume for those of us interested in the material culture of early modern London and the difference immigrants brought with them when they settled in their new homeland."
- Tracey Wedge, Independent Scholar, Aotearoa/New Zealand
"These 92 inventory transcriptions, supported by a glossary, bibliography and indices, are thus a very solid addition to the existing corpus and ... this book should be in any serious library."
- Newsletter of the Furniture History Society
"The transcriptions are packed with interesting and puzzling items that will surely provoke discussion. ... This volume would be a welcome addition to the shelves of both researchers and teachers."
- Sixteenth Century Journal
"...a useful and necessary resource for historians studying French Protestant immigration, acculturation of immigrants to London, material culture and cultural studies."
- Seventeenth Century
"Without a doubt, Parker’s contribution to Huguenot scholarship and domestic history will be invaluable to researchers and students in migrant communities in early modern London, as well as those interested in the material culture of the urban middle classes."

Descriere
Probate inventories provide an unparalleled glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants of early modern England, as well as the rich diversity and value of domestic material culture. Further, they enable scholars to reconstruct the social and business networks that are crucial for understanding the period. By offering an introduction to - and transcriptions of - probate inventories, this book provides a new resource for those interested in the early modern household, material culture studies, and the domestic lives of the Huguenot refugees.
