| Summary: | "Bringing together a wide range of source material - from portraits to personal diaries, satirical prints to sermons, to plans and designs of parsonages - Morality and Materiality looks at the houses, consumption and lifestyle of Church of England clergy in the long eighteenth century, reconstructing the material lives and household arrangements of the Georgian clergy in glorious detail. In examining the parish clergy over this period of profound social and religious change through the lens of consumption, and the lives of these clergymen, it offers a transformative account both on these areas of enquiry and on our understanding of English society in the 18th century"-- |
