Historians have only recently begun to note the increase in demand for luxury goods and service that took place in eighteenth century England. McKendrick has explored the Wedgwood firm’ s remarkable success in marketing luxury pottery; Plumb has written about the proliferations of provincial theaters, musical festivals, and children’ s toys and books. While the fact of this consumer revolution is hardly in doubt, three key questions remain: Who were the consumers What were their motives7 And what were the effects of the new demand for luxuries
An answer to the flint of these has been difficult to obtain. Although it has been possible to infer from the goods and services actually produced what manufacturers and servicing trades thought their customers wanted, only a study of relevant personal documents written by actual consumers will provide a precise picture of who wanted what. We still need to know how large this consumer market was and
A. contrast their views on the subject of luxury consumerism in eighteenth century England
B. indicate the inadequacy of historiographical approaches to eighteenth century English history
C. give examples of historians who have helped to establish the fact of growing consumerism in eighteenth century England
D. support the contention that key questions about eighteenth century consumerism remain to be answered
