Hur kunde det dagliga livet i 1700-talets Europa te sig? Med hjälp av korrespondens, dagböcker och räkenskaper, men också av föremål, konst och hantverk, ger Johanna Ilmakunnas en inblick i människors vardag – deras sysslor och sysslolöshet.

Hon presenterar tidens olika göromål och låter läsaren möta enskilda levnadsöden. Flertalet är adels- och ståndspersoner som levde i Stockholm och på den svenska landsbygden. De hade möjlighet att konsumera lyxvaror som siden och spetsar från Paris men ägnade sig även åt handarbete, läsning och trädgårdsarbete. Johanna Ilmakunnas bjuder in till herrgårdarnas och stadspalatsens rumsliga hierarkier, med storslagna salar för sällskapsliv och baler samt rum av mer privat karaktär där det kunde diskuteras politik och affärer. Läsaren får också insyn i tidens uppfostringsideal och de studier som bedrevs, möter familjens strukturer – generationsöverskridande och i omfattande nätverk – samt tar del av måltidernas och dukningarnas betydelse.

Denna mångfacetterade essäsamling är rikt illustrerad med porträtt och interiörer, målningar och gravyrer, fascinerande nedslag i 1700-talets små och stora världar av vardagsbestyr.

När adelsdamen Anna Johanna Grill 1788 reste till England gjorde det stora utbudet av konsumtionsvaror ett djupt intryck. Hon reflekterar i sin resedagbok över de många bodarnas rikedom av varor. Somliga bodar saluför endast pennor och papper, en annan bara käppar, ytterligare en specialiserar sig på strumpor och så vidare. Hon noterar att engelsmännen exponerar sina varor på ett sätt som narrar folk att handla .

Hur såg det ut i Stockholm vid samma tid? Fanns det särskilda shoppingstråk, vem sålde, vem handlade och vilka varor stod till buds? Hur såg marknadsföringen ut och betalades varor med likvida medel eller handlades det på kredit?

I den rikt illustrerade antologin Shopping i Stockholm. Sociala praktiker på gatunivå, 1700-1850 får vi veta mer om Anna Johanna Grill, men även om Årstafrun Märta Helena Reenstierna; nipperhandlaren Peter Wahnberg; friherren Axel von Fersen; drottning Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte och hennes kammarjungfru; sidenhandlaren Herman Grewesmühl; skådespelerskorna Lisette Stenberg och Sophia Wäström; kramhandlare Jeremias Sandborg; perukmakare Carl Gustaf Lindström med många fler.

De elva artikelförfattarna är forskare från skilda discipliner och vetenskapliga traditioner. De visar att den nya tidens shoppingstråk med dess varuutbud av sidentyger, nipper, modegravyrer, smide, peruker och hårpomador inte bara tillgodosåg konsumenternas behov, utan möjliggjorde även drömmar om nya identiteter och en bättre position i samhället, för sig och de sina.

This book focuses on early examples of women who may be said to have anticipated, in one way or another, modern professional and/or career-oriented women. The contributors to the book discuss women who may at least in some respect be seen as professionally ambitious, unlike the great majority of working women in the past. In order to improve their positions or to find better business opportunities, the women discussed in this book invested in developing their qualifications and professional skills, took economic or other kinds of risks, or moved to other countries. Socially, they range from elite women to women of middle-class and lower middle-class origin.In terms of theory, the book brings fresh insights into issues that have been long discussed in the field of women’s history and are also debated today. However, despite its focus on women, the book is conceptually not so much focused on gender as it is on profession, business, career, qualifications, skills, and work. By applying such concepts to analyzing women’s endeavours, the book aims at challenging the conventional ideas about them.

Shopping in Eighteenth-Century Europe

Experiences and Identities

This volume explores the practices of shopping in Europe during the long eighteenth century, a period during which consumption choices expanded to encompass much larger groups than before. Shopping functioned as an act of social distinction, where retail practices not only reflected and reinforced social aspirations and identities but also were a means of creating relationships through shared information and exchanges.Bringing together ten diverse case studies, the collection provides in-depth insights into the transformation of shopping practices across Western and Northern Europe. The production of made-to-order goods gave way to a range of ready-made objects that could be viewed, browsed and touched in shops, booths, workshops and markets. Together, the chapters highlight a crucial historical nuance: the concept of ‘shopping’ as understood in England—with its associations of pleasure and socialising—did not exist in other major European languages during this period. From actors in Stockholm to aristocrats in Paris, this study rigorously contextualises the practice of consumption, leaving readers with an enriched understanding of how shopping shaped identities and social relationships throughout eighteenth-century Europe.This collection is an essential resource for scholars, students and non-specialists interested in the material culture, economy, everyday life and social dynamics of Europe during the long eighteenth century.

Taste for Luxury in Early Modern Europe

Jon Stobart and Johanna Ilmakunnas bring together a range of scholars from across mainland Europe and the UK to examine luxury and taste in early modern Europe.In the 18th century, debates raged about the economic, social and moral impacts of luxury, whilst taste was viewed as a refining influence and a marker of rank and status. This book takes a fresh, comparative approach to these ideas, drawing together new scholarship to examine three related areas in a wide variety of European contexts. Firstly, the deployment of luxury goods in displays of status and how these practices varied across space and time. Secondly, the processes of communicating and acquiring taste and luxury: how did people obtain tasteful and luxurious goods, and how did they recognise them as such? Thirdly, the ways in which ideas of taste and luxury crossed national, political and economic boundaries: what happened to established ideas of luxury and taste as goods moved from one country to another, and during times of political transformation?Through the analysis of case studies looking at consumption practices, material culture, political economy and retail marketing, A Taste for Luxury in Early Modern Europe challenges established readings of luxury and taste. This is a crucial volume for any historian seeking a more nuanced understanding of material culture, consumption and luxury in early modern Europe.
