Reseña del libro "Great Irish Households: Inventories from the Long Eighteenth Century (en Inglés)"
Toby Barnard is one of the pre-eminent historians of eighteenth-century IrelandInventories, most of them published here for the first time, are presented in a highly readable layoutExtensive index makes the goods and chattels listed in the inventories easily accessibleFull glossary is linked to the indexCompanion volume to Noble Households: Eighteenth-Century Inventories of Great English HousesThe value of inventories in charting how houses were arranged, furnished and used is now widely appreciated. Typically, the listings and valuations were occasioned by the death of an owner and the consequent need to deal with testamentary dispositions. That was not always so. The inventory for Castlecomer House, Co. Kilkenny, for example, was drawn up to make a claim following the house's devastation in the 1798 uprising. Mostly hitherto unpublished, the inventories chosen give new-found insights into the lifestyle and taste of some of the foremost families of the day. A comprehensive index facilitates access to the myriad items within the inventories, while the books listed at three of the houses are tentatively identified in separate appendices. A foreword, together with preambles to the inventories, sets the households in their historical context. The book will appeal to historians of interiors, patronage, collecting and material culture, as well as to scholars, curators, collectors, creative designers, film directors, bibliographers, lexicographers and historical novelists.
