- The research for Consumption and the Country House was initially funded by an AHRC Research Grant (2010-2011, on which Rothery was RA) and continued over the following three years. The book draws on a wide range of archival sources and makes connections between country house studies, gender history and the history of consumption. It challenges established views of the country house by approaching it as a site of consumption and offers new insights into the ways in which the aristocracy engaged in the so-called consumer revolution. Consumption and the Country House was runner-up in the Social History Book Prize, 2018.
