Beskrivning

Tracing the emergence of the domestic kitchen from the 17th to the middle of the 19th century, Sara Pennell explores how the English kitchen became a space of specialised activity, sociability and strife. Drawing upon texts, images, surviving structures and objects, The Birth of the English Kitchen, 1600-1850 opens up the early modern English kitchen as an important historical site in the construction of domestic relations between husband and wife, masters, mistresses and servants and householders and outsiders; and as a crucial resource in contemporary heritage landscapes.

Recensioner i media

One of [Sara Pennell’s] great strengths is her painstaking attempt to reconstruct ‘everyday’ plebeian and middling kitchens despite scant evidence. She accesses every type of source imaginable, including published accounts, diaries, letters, probate documents, court cases, deeds, ephemeral advertising, architectural and cookery books, illustrations, and literary sources … Pennell’s scholarship is not only impressive; her writing is accessible, elegant, and witty.
