Luxury in the eighteenth century

"This volume explores the political, economic and moral effects of the production and consumption of luxury goods, tying the concept to contemporary discourse on taste, civility and sensibility, aesthetics and literary genres. This cultural history provides a broadly-based focus on luxury in a series of tightly linked sections addressing key themes of economic debate, material culture, aesthetic principles, luxury as a female vice and the exotic."--Jacket.
