Quaker Aesthetics

Reflections On A Quaker Ethic In American Design And Consumption, 1720-1920

EDITED BY EMMA LAPSANSKY AND ANNE VERPLANCK
The notion of a uniquely Quaker style in architecture, dress, and domestic interiors is a subject with which scholars have long grappled, since Quakers have traditionally held both an appreciation for high quality workmanship and a distrust of ostentation. Detailing how Quakers have manufactured, bought, and used such goods as clothing, furniture, and buildings, the essays in Quaker Aesthetics reveal a much more complicated picture than that of a simple people with simple tastes.
