Reviews"What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them"--Kathryn Hughes, Guardian "In this riveting book, the authors take advantage of the pockets' frequent survival in textile museums, private collections and family holdings across Britain, tracing their presence in art, literature, political satire, domestic organization and court records."--Roberta Smith, New York Times "Best Art Books of 2019" 'The authors' careful research is enthralling . . . a very handsome illustrated book'-- Libération 'A fascinating book'-- Le Monde "Occupying the hinterland between dress and underwear, the pocket has been discounted as rather too private and individual to yield universal truth, yet that is exactly what Burman and Fennetaux have done with this remarkable new study."-- Selvedge "[T]his is not just a book about pockets as a material artefact, but a rich social and cultural history of women and their lives."--Elizabeth Spencer, Cultural and Social History "From its very beginning, the book invites the readers to immerse themselves into the fascinating world of the pocket and cleverly presents stories of objects that illuminate a range of practices related to the daily life, whether in material,textual, or visual form."--Alicia Mihalic, The Journal of Dress History, "What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them" --Kathryn Hughes, Guardian 'The authors' careful research is enthralling . . . a very handsome illustrated book'-- Libération 'A fascinating book'-- Le Monde, "What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them" --Kathryn Hughes, Guardian, "What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them"--Kathryn Hughes, Guardian "In this riveting book, the authors take advantage of the pockets' frequent survival in textile museums, private collections and family holdings across Britain, tracing their presence in art, literature, political satire, domestic organization and court records."--Roberta Smith, New York Times "Best Art Books of 2019" 'The authors' careful research is enthralling . . . a very handsome illustrated book'-- Libération 'A fascinating book'-- Le Monde "Occupying the hinterland between dress and underwear, the pocket has been discounted as rather too private and individual to yield universal truth, yet that is exactly what Burman and Fennetaux have done with this remarkable new study."-- Selvedge "[T]his is not just a book about pockets as a material artefact, but a rich social and cultural history of women and their lives."--Elizabeth Spencer, Cultural and Social History "From its very beginning, the book invites the readers to immerse themselves into the fascinating world of the pocket and cleverly presents stories of objects that illuminate a range of practices related to the daily life, whether in material,textual, or visual form."--Alicia Mihalic, The Journal of Dress History "Beautifully designed and wonderfully illustrated...This kind of focused and revolutionary study opens a bright destiny for interdisciplinary research in the Humanities."--Dr. Axel Moulinier, Kunst Chronik, "What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them."--Kathryn Hughes, Guardian "In this riveting book, the authors take advantage of the pockets' frequent survival in textile museums, private collections and family holdings across Britain, tracing their presence in art, literature, political satire, domestic organization and court records."--Roberta Smith, New York Times "Best Art Books of 2019"

SynopsisPencils, a sketchbook, cake, yards of stolen ribbon, thimbles, snuff boxes, a picture of a lover, two live ducks: these are just some of the fascinating things carried by women and girls in their tie-on pockets, an essential accessory throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. This first book-length study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women's everyday lives--from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen--and explore their consumption practices, work, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. The authors draw on an unprecedented study of surviving pockets in museums and private collections to identify their materials, techniques, and decoration; their use is investigated through sources as diverse as criminal trials, letters, diaries, inventories, novels, and advertisements. Richly illustrated with paintings, satirical prints, and photographs of artifacts in detail, this innovative book reveals the unexpected story of these deeply evocative and personal objects., A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019 "A riveting book . . . few stones are left unturned."--Roberta Smith's "Top Art Books of 2019," The New York Times This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women's everyday lives--from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen--and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women's stories into intimate focus. "What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them."--Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian "A brilliant book."--Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement

Wonderful illustrated history
This has so much more than just pockets; it reveals intimate details about women's lives. And for the historical crafter/sewist, it touches on many of the material culture items such as miser bags, housewives, and other things that one would keep in the pocket. The illustrations are well chosen giving the text breadth and depth that would not otherwise be so well expressed. One can browse briefly or read all afternoon and enjoy the great gift of research Burman and Fennetaux out into this volume.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
