Comfort, both physical and affective, is a key aspect in our conceptualization of the home as a place of emotional attachment, yet its study remains under-developed in the context of the European house. In this volume, Jon Stobart has assembled an international cast of contributors to discuss the ways in which architectural and spatial innovations coupled with the emotional assemblage of objects to create comfortable homes in early modern Europe. The book features a two-section structure focusing on the historiography of architectural and spatial innovations and material culture in the early modern home. It also includes 10 case studies which draw on specific examples, from water closets in Georgian Dublin to wallpapers in 19th-century Cambridge, to illustrate how people made use of and responded to the technological improvements and the emotional assemblage of objects which made the home comfortable. In addition, it explores the role of memory and memorialisation in the domestic space, and the extent to which home comforts could be carried about by travellers or reproduced in places far removed from the home. The Comforts of Home in Western Europe, 1700-1900 offers a fresh contribution to the study of comfort in the early modern home and will be vital reading for academics and students interested in early modern history, material culture and the history of interior architecture.

"How did 17th-century families in England perceive their health care needs? What household resources were available for medical self-help? To what extent did households make up remedies based on medicinal recipes? Drawing on previously unpublished household papers ranging from recipes to accounts and letters, this original account shows how health and illness were managed on a day-to-day basis in a variety of 17th-century households. It reveals the extent of self-help used by families, explores their favourite remedies and analyses differences in approaches to medical matters. Anne Stobart illuminates cultures of health care amongst women and men, showing how 'kitchin physick' related to the business of medicine, which became increasingly commercial and professional in the 18th century. This book focuses on household healthcare in seventeenth-century England which has been little researched, although widely assumed to have existed as part of a self-help culture. Drawing on family papers this book reveals considerable detail and the complexity of how health and illness were managed on a day-to-day basis in gentry and aristocratic households. Much information was shared, from news about health to concerns and fears and medicinal recipes which were widely collected by both women and men. Varied approaches to self-help were used by families, and this book identifies gender roles and consumption practices, including favourite recipes and medicine purchases, from simples to universal cure-alls. Resources for household healthcare included a range of medicinal supplies, from foods to countryside plants and exotic drugs from the apothecary. Treatment and care of children's complaints and chronic conditions in later seventeenth-century households are explored, showing how both women and men drew on their understanding of disease, and experiences of self-help, to influence treatment. Continuity and change in household healthcare during the seventeenth century are evaluated alongside the availability of commercial and professional medicine. This book contributes to understanding the key role of medicines and self-help in the process of negotiating healthcare in early modern England."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Country houses were grand statements of power and status, but they were also places where people lived. This book traces the changes in layout, the new technologies, and the innovations in furniture that made them more convenient and comfortable. It argues that these material changes were just one aspect of comfort in the country house: feeling comfortable was just as important as being comfortable. Achieving this involved the comfort and solace to be found in daily routines, religious faith and, above all, relationships with family and friends. Such emotional comforts, and the attachment to things and places that embodied and memorialized them, made country houses into homes.
