{"product_id":"9780719089459","title":"Chinoiserie: Commerce And Critical Ornament In Eighteenth-Century Britain (Studies In Design And Material Culture)","description":"In a critical reassessment of chinoiserie, a style both praised and derided for its triviality, prettiness, and ornamental excesses, Stacey Sloboda argues that chinoiserie was no mute participant in eighteenth-century global consumer culture, but was instead a critical commentator on that culture. Analysing ceramics, wallpaper, furniture, garden architecture and other significant examples of British and Chinese design, this book takes an object-focused approach to studying the cultural phenomenon of the 'Chinese taste' in eighteenth-century Britain. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the critical history of design and the decorative arts in eighteenth-century Britain, and students and scholars of art history, material culture, eighteenth-century studies and British history will find a novel approach to studying the decorative arts and a forceful argument for their critical capacities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eStacey Sloboda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eManchester University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJul 31, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e256 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e071908945X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780719089459\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48933161763121,"sku":"9780719089459","price":199.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780719089459.jpg?v=1713696115","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780719089459","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
