The Material World of Eyre Hall: Four Centuries of Chesapeake History Lounsbury Carl R.
Erected in 1759 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Eyre Hall is still occupied by descendants of its builder. Only a small handful of places in Virginia can claim such continuity. It retains a rich variety of objects from furniture and books to silver and paintings acquired by the family, reflecting the tastes and aspirations of its many different generations.
It represents the cultural endeavors of southern society that was built on slavery and suffered the tribulations of wars, emancipation, and economic depressions. The material culture of Eyre Hall illustrates the everchanging meanings of this place in American culture from the seventeenth- through the twenty-first century. This study explores the mutability of this inheritance in the wake of such transformative events.
The book is divided into four sections. The first recounts the history of those who lived at Eyre Hall. The second
History of the World Cup
Marxist History of the World
History of the Medieval World
World History of the Dance
