Uncovering, for the first time, the role played by home users in fostering energy changes, this book explores the effects of energy transitions between the medieval and industrial era on the everyday life of Europeans and considers how cultural, social and material changes in the home facilitated the transition towards a more energy-demanding world.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.

Auctions and Households in the Eighteenth-Century World

Comparative Perspectives from Across the Globe, 1700–1850

The long eighteenth century is often seen as a time when consumption was driven by novelty, fashion and an expanding world of goods. This book takes an innovative approach to the supply of and demand for consumer goods in this period by exploring the nature, organisation and experience of household sales: events where used goods re-entered the market.These sales took place in a wide variety of settings, from country houses to garrisons and from large cities to remote rural settlements. They were important economic and social events that offer new insights into the emergence of a modern consumer society and its relationship with material goods. In bringing together case studies from different settings across Europe, North America, the Caribbean and India, it offers a unique comparative perspective on an important and surprisingly neglected mechanism of economic exchange. Household sales played a vital role in the (re)circulation of household goods during this crucial period in the history of consumption. It not only reveals the common practices and shared desires that brought together auctions in diverse places, but also highlights how household sales were flexible events, shaped by local circumstances and priorities.Auctions and Households in the Eighteenth-Century World is aimed at scholars and students of economic history, material culture and consumption studies, as well as anyone interested in the social and cultural dynamics of the eighteenth century.

City and Society in the Low Countries, 1100-1600

The Low Countries was collectively one of the earliest and most heavily urbanised societies in European history. Present-day Belgium and the Netherlands still share important common features, such as comparatively low income inequalities, high levels of per capita income, a balanced political structure, and a strong ''civil society''. This book traces the origins of this specific social model in medieval patterns of urbanisation, while also searching for explanations for the historical reproduction of social inequalities. Access to cheap inland river navigation and to the sea generated a ''river delta'' urbanisation that explains the persistence of a decentralised urban economic network, marked by intensive cooperation and competition and by the absence of real metropolises. Internally as well, powerful checks and balances prevented money and power from being concentrated. Ultimately, however, the utmost defining characteristic of the Low Countries'' urban cultures was located in their resilient middle classes.

Music and the City

Musical Cultures and Urban Societies in the Southern Netherlands and Beyond, c.1650-1800

Little is known about the ways in which early modern musical cultures were integrated within their broader urban environments. Building on recent trends within urban musicology, the authors of this volume aim to transcend descriptive overviews of institutions and actors involved with music within a given city. Instead, they consider the urban environment as the constitutive context for the making of music as a significant aspect of urban society and identity. Through selected case studies and by focusing on three "musical circuits"-opera and theater music, sacred music, and secular songs-this book contributes to a more effective understanding of music in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century urban societies in the southern Netherlands and beyond. Musicological and historical research perspectives are fruitfully integrated, as well as insights from theater scholarship and literary criticism. With attention to the musical life behind the traditional institutions, the circulation of repertoires, and musical cultures in peripheral urban environments or in cities "in decay," Music and the City reveals the societal dimension of music in urban life.
