In Sparkling Company: Reflections on Glass in the 18th-century British World

摘要

This volume In Sparkling Company: Reflections on Glass in the 18th-century British World is a major publication that coincides with an exhibition held at the Corning Museum of Glass, 22 May 2021-2 January 2022. However, as the subtitle suggests, this book intends to hold a mirror up to the exhibition, which is itself entitled In Sparkling Company: Glass and the Costs of Social Life in Britain During the 1700s', and explores further the many themes and issues that are perhaps not best expressed through visual displays.
