Review of: A Day at Home in Early Modern England: Material Culture and Domestic Life by Tara Hamling and Catherine Richardson

With its highly formal language and wealth of detailed historical evidence, A Day at Home was clearly written for an audience of specialists, and it is manifestly grounded at the intersection of Hamling’s and Richardson’s specializations: literary and cultural history, art history, and religious history. This elegantly edited publication contains pictures, lists of items appearing in probate inventories, schematic blueprints, and diagrams that accompany the authors’ nuanced analysis of written and material historical evidence about the home.
