Abstract
This paper examines eighteenth-century consumption practices in a small agricultural county through the lens of a single bedroom textile. Drawing on detail in more than three hundred and seventy Huntingdonshire probate inventories, it considers bedcover ownership in the county of Huntingdonshire over the long eighteenth century and whether the use of one household commodity changed in the period. The study enables a useful comparison with work on bedcovers and bedcover terminology in metropolitan London.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
