- "Smell in Eighteenth-Century England" is based on five years' extensive research and speaks to multiple historiographies: histories of smell, senses, emotions, gender, consumption, urbanisation, medicine, science and social relations. It draws on a vast body of archive material, looking at smell from multiple angles - from occupational health and the market for medicines to linguistic shifts in describing smell. The 30-page bibliography includes newspapers, magazines, government and institutional records, diaries, letters, recipe books, advertisements, visual and material culture, and printed sources, 1660s-1840s. Questioning previous historiography, the book describes a sea-change in attitudes to smell in the long eighteenth century.
