"This is a history so artful and astonishing that it makes me realize how little I know about my own craft. Laurel Ulrich looks at the things people made in the Age of Homespun and the meanings they and their descendants attached to them. Each chapter is circular, beginning with an object and the stories about it, then establishing context until the reader gets some glimpse of both the richness of the world from which the object came and the things stories about the object seek to conceal. Put the chapters together, and there is a history of New England through the early industrial revolution that opens out largely from women's work -- both Indian and white." -- Richard White, author of'It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own': A New History of the American West "Once upon a time Harvard was West Podunk in the world of material culture studies. No longer. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's appointment to the faculty and now her trail-blazing book, The Age of Homespun, redraw the map of an exciting field still full of surprises. Objects made by and for American women transport readers into a landscape that alternately teems with personal stories and opens onto stunning historical perspectives." --Cary Carson, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation "Although handmade clothing and textiles are often ignored or marginalized as antiquarian oddities by academic historians, Laurel Ulrich has carefully selected examples from which she has been able to tease powerful and significant stories. Readers will enjoy the individual tales and, through them, find their understanding of Colonial America a richer web." -- Jane Nylander, author ofOur Own Snug Fireside: Images of the New England Home "With her usual magic, Laurel Ulrich finds the world in small pieces of evidence. Slavery, Indians, international commerce, class, revolution, gentility all are woven into the fabrics she describes. Moreover, she finds these weavers, spinners, and embroiderers creating a culture of homespun later to be memorialized in the formation of American identity." -- Richard L. Bushman, author ofThe Refinement of America: Persons, Houses, Cities "THE AGE OF HOMESPUN is a rich blend of history and material culture and of history and memory that reflects the storytelling and analytic skills of one of today's finest historians. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich has written a superb evocation of an important dimension of eighteenth-century America and its reconstruction by subsequent generations." -- Thomas Dublin, author ofTransforming Women's Work: New England Lives in the Industrial Revolution "A yarn of a story? A richly woven text? A tapestry of tales? Readers of THE AGE OF HOMESPUN will have to reach deep into their baskets of metaphors to find words to describe this stunning work of scholarship and storytelling, in which Ulrich asks us to think hard about the spinning of wool--and the writing of history." --Jill Lepore, author ofThe Name of War: King Philip's War and the Origins of American Identity "In a unique work of astonishing originality, Laurel Ulrich has achieved two distinct goals: recreating the textiles that early Americans made and used, but also the illusions that 19th-century Americans imagined about their forebears' domestic milieu. She does all of that with due attention to particularity of place and change over time--providing a superb example of the gifted historian's craft." --Michael Kammen, author ofAmerican Culture, American Tastes "In THE AGE OF HOMESPUN, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich explodes an enduring American myth, one that has isolated early New England women and their work from such larger historical currents as the colonization of Amer, "This is a history so artful and astonishing that it makes me realize how little I know about my own craft.

Synopsis
Using objects that Americans have saved through the centuries and stories they have passed along, as well as histories teased from documents, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich chronicles the production of cloth--and of history--in early America. Under the singular and brilliant lens that Ulrich brings to this study, ordinary household goods--Indian baskets, spinning wheels, a chimneypiece, a cupboard, a niddy-noddy, bed coverings, silk embroidery, a pocketbook, a linen tablecloth, a coverlet and a rose blanket, and an unfinished stocking--provide the key to a transformed understanding of cultural encounter, frontier war, Revolutionary politics, international commerce, and early industrialization in America. We discover how ideas about cloth and clothing affected relations between English settlers and their Algonkian neighbors. We see how an English production system based on a clear division of labor-men doing the weaving and women the spinning--broke down in the colonial setting, becoming first marginalized, then feminized, then politicized, and how the new system both prepared the way for and was sustained by machine-powered spinning. Pulling these divergent threads together into a rich and revealing tapestry of --the age of homespun,--Ulrich demonstrates how ordinary objects reveal larger economic and social structures, and, in particular, how early Americans and their descendants made, used, sold, and saved textiles in order to assert identities, shape relationships, and create history.
