Barker skillfully elicits a culture immersed in a prevailing ideology of harmony built on honor, reputation, and equity; an emotional world that expressed itself in terms of companionate marriages and affectionate parenting; and a built world that embodied hierarchies and gendered differences rather than public and private spaces. Barker is careful to detail the difficulties of maintaining these standards, but future historians of the trading classes elsewhere in England will find these to be exceptionally important theses to test as well as verify....Highly recommended. --CHOICE
