Unveiling, for the first time, the pivotal role played by home users in fostering energy transformations, this comprehensive book explores the profound effects of energy transitions between the medieval and industrial eras on the daily lives of Europeans. It delves into the intricate ways in which cultural, social, and material changes within the home facilitated the gradual shift towards a more energy-demanding world.
This book takes a deeper dive into the intricate interplay between early modern consumers and the ecological limitations of their surroundings. By drawing upon expertise from various experts in specific areas of domestic energy use, derived from diverse case studies across early modern Europe, this book offers a diverse range of approaches, spanning a long-term and comparative perspective. It explores the diverse "material cultures of energy" across different time periods, spaces, and climates within Europe.
Ultimately, this book aims to examine how the early modern home not only adapted to energy changes but perhaps even laid the groundwork for our modern dependence on fossil energy. Energy in the Early Modern Home serves as an invaluable resource for students and scholars engaged in the study of early modern Europe, premodern environmental history, the history of consumption and material culture, as well as the history of science and technology.
