520 In Making Furniture in Preindustrial America Edward S.
Cooke Jr. offers a fresh and appealing cross-disciplinary
study of the furnituremakers, social structure, household
possessions, and surviving pieces of furniture of two
neighboring New England communities. Drawing on both
documentary and artifactual sources, Cooke explores the
interplay among producer, process, and style in
demonstrating why and how the social economies of these
two seemingly similar towns differed significantly during
the late colonial and early national periods. Throughout
the latter half of the eighteenth century, Cooke explains,
the yeoman town of Newtown relied on native joiners whose
work satisfied the expectations of their fellow
townspeople. These traditionalists combined craftwork with
farming and made relatively plain, conservative furniture.
By contrast, the typical joiner in the neighboring gentry
town of Woodbury was the immigrant innovator. Born and
raised elsewhere in Connecticut and serving a diverse
clientele, these craftsmen were free of the cultural
constraints that affected their Newtown contemporaries.
Relying almost entirely on furnituremaking for their
livelihood, they were free to pay greater attention to
stylistically sensitive features than to mere function.
