The Age of Homespun: Objects and Stories in the Creation of an American Myth by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 11 MB
Overview: Using objects that Americans have saved through the centuries and stories they have passed along, as well as histories teased from documents, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich chronicles the production of cloth–and of history–in early America. Under the singular and brilliant lens that Ulrich brings to this study, ordinary household goods–Indian baskets, spinning wheels, a chimneypiece, a cupboard, a niddy-noddy, bed coverings, silk embroidery, a pocketbook, a linen tablecloth, a coverlet and a rose blanket, and an unfinished stocking–provide the key to a transformed understanding of cultural encounter, frontier war, Revolutionary politics, international commerce, and early industrialization in America.
