Gender, taste, and material culture in Britain and North America, 1700-1830 / edited by John Styles and Amanda Vickery.

"Between 1700 and 1830, men and women in the English-speaking territories framing the Atlantic gained unprecedented access to material things. The British Atlantic was an empire of goods, held together not just by political authority and a common language, but by a shared material culture nourished by constant flows of commodities."--Dust-jacket.
