About This Item
Hardback. New. Examines the history of material culture in early modern China. Craig Clunas analyses ""superfluous things"" - the paintings, calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics, carved jade, and other objects owned by the elites of Ming China - and describes contemporary attitudes to them. He informs his discussions with reference to both socio-cultural theory and current debates on eighteenth-century England.
