In its long aftermath, wages in London rose in response to labor shortages, many survivors moved into larger quarters in the depopulated city, and people in general spent more money on food, clothing, and household furnishings than they had before. Household Goods and Good Households in Late Meval London looks at how this increased consumption reconfigured long-held gender roles and changed the domestic lives of London''s merchants and artisans for years to come.Grounding her analysis in both the study of surviving household artifacts and extensive archival research, Katherine L. French examines the accommodations that Londoners made to their bigger houses and the increasing number of possessions these contained. The changes in material circumstance reshaped domestic hierarchies and produced new routines and expectations. Recognizing that the greater number of possessions required a different kind of management and care, French puts housework and gender at the center of her study. Historically, the task of managing bos and things and the dirt and chaos they create has been unproblematically defined as women''s work. Housework, however, is neither timeless nor ahistorical, and French traces a major shift in women''s household responsibilities to the arrival and gendering of new possessions and the creation of new household spaces in the decades after the plague.
