The Country House Stockists

This book presents a series of conference papers exploring the material culture of the country house and its presentation to the public. There is an academic interest in the consumption practices of the elite and in the country house as a lived and living space which was consciously transformed according to fashion and personal taste; but importantly there is also a concern amongst curators to present a coherent narrative of historic properties and their contents to the modern visitor.The proceedings address a number of current academic debates about elite consumption practices and the role of landed society as arbiters of taste. By looking at the country house as lived space many of the papers throw up interesting questions about the accumulation and arrangement of objects; the way in which rooms were used and experienced by both owners and visitors and how this sense of ‘living history’ can be presented meaningfully to the public. The conference was international in scope so the experience in the United Kingdom can be compared with that in other European countries throwing new light on our understanding of consumption and the country house.Key Features:224 pagesHardbackPublished in 2016
