'... bristles with important insights into the spatial frameworks and material culture that conditioned the lives of early modern Europeans ... in a variety of ways, this volume adds to current knowledge of both material culture and early modern European history.' Sharon Strocchia, Emory University, USA, author of Nuns and Nunneries in Renaissance Florence '...intriguing, to say the least... offer[s] new perspectives on early modern social and cultural logics.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'The thought-provoking case studies offered here represent a valuable contribution to the study of non-familial domestic environments, and provide models for future research while posing questions yet to be answered. The reader is aided in exploring the material presented by a bibliography and a good index. By studying the exchanges between objects, individuals, and institutions across highly permeable boundaries, the research in Domestic Institutional Interiors in Early Modern Europe focuses on the human experience within a range of circumstances not often studied. It challenges current notions concerning how individuals engaged with and modified their institutional environments, and it opens a door to further study.' Caa.Reviews '... this collection of essays offers a range of interdisciplinary topics, approaches, and methods that can engage scholars beyond the confines of early modern studies... Domestic Institutional Interiors of the Early Modern Period is a book that I strongly recommend to libraries serving graduate students and research faculty.'
