People live in material worlds and the things we make, wear, sit upon, treasure or discard are key to understanding our lives and societies. As material culture is central to human experience, it represents a vital but under-used source for historians. Written in a lively and accessible style, this new guide provides clear and practical guidance on how to incorporate the study of objects into historical practice.
