Books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes and A History of the World in 100 Objects indicate the growing popularity of this way of understanding the past. In History and Its Objects, Peter N. Miller uncovers the forgotten origins of our fascination with exploring the past through its artifacts by highlighting the role of antiquarianism-a pursuit ignored and derided by modem academic history-in grasping the significance of material culture.From the efforts of Renaissance antiquarians, who reconstructed life in the ancient world from coins, inscriptions, seals, and other detritus, to amateur historians in the nineteenth century working within burgeoning national traditions, Miller connects collecting-whether by individuals or institutions-to the professionalization of the historical profession, one which came to regard its progenitors with skepticism and disdain. The struggle to articulate the value of objects as historical evidence, then, lies at the heart both of academic history-writing and of the popular engagement with things. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that our current preoccupation with objects is far from novel and reflects a human need to reexperience the past as a physical presence. 606 $aAntiquities$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMaterial culture$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xHistoriography 615 0$aAntiquities$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory. 676 $a930.1071 686 $aNK 4930$2rvk 700 $aMiller$b Peter N.$f1964-$01489429 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792831303321 996 $aHistory and its objects$93863721 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$94.98$u06/29/2019$5Soc
