Craftworkers in Nineteenth Century Scotland
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-9307-9 (ISBN)
This book examines individuals, families and communities of craftworkers and their changing experience in town and country. Based on case studies drawn from personal, business, institutional and official records, as well as newspaper reports and visual illustrations, it looks at workplace dynamics and handmade wares shaped by personal consumption, rather than industrial production.
Stana Nenadic examines the ‘things’ that were made and the values they embodied at a time when most Scots were still engaged in hand making – either for income or pleasure – despite Scotland’s emergence as a great industrial powerhouse.
Stana Nenadic is Professor of Social and Cultural History at the University of Edinburgh. She studies the social, cultural and economic life of artisans and business owners, the middle ranks, gentry and professionals since the eighteenth century, mainly with reference to Scotland and has a parallel interest in the material and visual cultures of the past. Previous publications include Colouring the Nation: The Turkey Red Printed Cotton Industry in Scotland c.1840-1940 (NMS Publications, Edinburgh, 2013), co-written with Sally Tuckett, Scots in London the Eighteenth Century (Lewisburg, Bucknell University Press, 2010) and Lairds and Luxury: The Highland Gentry in Eighteenth Century Scotland (John Donald, Edinburgh, 2007). She is Director of the Pasold Research Fund (for the history of textiles, dress and fashion) and currently holds a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. Nenadic was previously a Commissioner of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, 2001-2011.
