Theoretically informed and drawn from primary and secondary sources in a range of disciplines, the author considers agriculture and the rural environment, towns, and buildings such as working-class housing and institutions of reform. From bleach baths to window glass, rubbish pits to tea wares, the material culture of the period reflects a particular set of values and aspirations. Tarlow examines the philosophical and historical background to the notion of improvement and demonstrates how this concept is a useful lens through which to examine the material culture of later historical Britain.Cambridge studies in archaeology.Historic buildingsConservation and restorationGreat BritainHistoric sitesConservation and restorationGreat BritainMaterial cultureGreat BritainHistory18th centuryMaterial cultureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryCultural propertyProtectionGreat BritainGreat BritainHistorical geographyGreat BritainSocial conditions18th centuryGreat BritainSocial conditions19th centuryHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationHistoric sitesConservation and restorationMaterial cultureHistoryMaterial cultureHistoryCultural propertyProtection363.6/9094109033Tarlow Sarah1967-865960UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910454604703321The archaeology of improvement in Britain, 1750-18502449812UNINA
