Download or read book Findings written by Mary Carolyn Beaudry and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary C. Beaudry mines archaeological findings of sewing and needlework to discover what these small traces of female experience reveal about the societies and cultures in which they were used. Beaudry's geographical and chronological scope is broad: she examines sites in the United States and Great Britain, as well as Australia and Canada, and she ranges from the Middle Ages through the Industrial Revolution.The author describes the social and cultural significance of "findings": pins, needles, thimbles, scissors, and other sewing accessories and tools. Through the fascinating stories that grow out of these findings, Beaudry shows the extent to which such "small things" were deeply entrenched in the construction of gender, personal identity, and social class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.

Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

Book excerpt: 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

Book Synopsis The History of Needlework Tools and Accessories by : Sylvia Groves
Download or read book The History of Needlework Tools and Accessories written by Sylvia Groves and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a most unusual book, dealing with a subject that has never previously been so thoroughly examined. It concerns the tools and accessories that have been used in needlework throughout the centuries, and their relation to the history and development of needlework itself. A glance at some of the chapter headings gives an indication of the scope of the book: Needles and Needle-cases; Scissors and Knives; Work-boxes and Work-tables; Embroiderers' Tools and Cord-making Appliances; Knitting; Netting; Knotting; Purse-making and Pillow-lace. Not only is the evolution of the more everyday implements traced in detail; the reader is introduced into a world of Hemming-birds, Niddy-noddies, Yarningles, Lucettes and Drizzling-pins - the terms used are as delightful as the objects themselves. There are more than 200 illustrations. Some are from museums and art-galleries in this country, the United States and the Continent; others are from the author's own unique collection of tools. There are metal sewing-boxes worn by Anglo-Saxon women; needles and pins of medieval times; costly knotting shuttles used in the days of Marie Antoinette; and all the varied paraphernalia of the Victorian era. The author quotes extensively and most appropriately from many literary sources including Chaucer, Defoe, Jane Austen, Hans Andersen, the diaries of Parson Woodforde, etc., giving some indication of the enormous amount of research she has undertaken. She is herself a needlewoman, familiar with all the processes she mentions. To anyone interested in needlework, and to the social historian, this will be a valuable book of reference. It also presents many challenges to the collector, who will surely be inspired to search for the numerous delightful and once useful things described - the delicate tubular needle-cases of the Georgian and Victorian periods; the sewing-clamps or grippers that were so popular in the United States in the early 19th century; the bobbins used for pillow-lace with their intriguing inscriptions; and the small stilettos needed for Broderie Anglaise or for that curious and long-forgotten pursuit of Parfilage." --
