The Power of Objects in Eighteenth-Century British America

byJennifer Van Horn

Jennifer Van Horn uses The Power of Objects in Eighteenth-Century British America to investigate power of Objects in Eighteenth-Century British America through a carefully framed historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
