The Wunderkammer of Lady Charlotte Guest Hardback
by Erica Obey
Hardback
Description
This book examines the life of Lady Charlotte Guest Schreiber, who provided the first complete translation of the Mabinogion and ran her late husband’s ironmongery.
This book examines how collecting porcelain, playing cards, and fans allowed her to create a series of private signifying systems that countered the prevailing Victorian discourse assigned to women.
