Common People and Their Material World: Free Men and Women in the Chesapeake, 1700-1830
edited by David Harvey and Gregory Brown. 1995.
The proceedings of the March 1992 conference which examines the material lives of the common people who populated the Chesapeake 1700-1830. Participants in three sessions—Standards of Living, Rural and Urban Life, and Folkways and Formalities—address the lives of the ordinary folk who are still often overlooked in the study of 18th-century society and culture. Social historians, archaeologists, curators, and material culture specialists approach the subject from very different directions, showing the power of multi-disciplinary study. According to a review in the William and Mary Quarterly, the collection provides a useful overview of the range of social history and artifact research now taking place at Colonial Williamsburg. Authors include Cary Carson, Lorena S. Walsh, Emma L. Powers, Wallace Gusler, Vanessa Patrick, Ann Smart Martin, Marley R. Brown III, Joanne Bowen, Barbara Carson, William Kelso, Betty Leviner, and Kevin Kelly.
