Collector's Voice Critical Readings in the Practice of Collecting Early Voices

The Collector's Voice is a major four-volume project which brings together in accessible form material relevant to the history and practice of collecting in the European tradition from c. 1500 BC to the present day. The series demonstrates how attitudes to objects, the collecting of objects, and the shape of the museum institution have developed over the past 3000 years. Material presented includes translations of a wide range of original documents: letters, official reports, verse, fiction, travellers' accounts, catalogues and labels.Volume 1: Ancient Voices, edited by Susan Pearce and Alexandra BouniaVolume 2: Early Voices, edited by Susan Pearce and Kenneth ArnoldVolume 3: Imperial Voices, edited by Susan Pearce and Rosemary FlandersVolume 4: Contemporary Voices, edited by Susan Pearce and Paul MartinPearce, Susan is the author of 'Collector's Voice Critical Readings in the Practice of Collecting Early Voices' with ISBN 9781859284186 and ISBN 1859284183.
