Know about the book -

Craftworkers in Nineteenth Century Scotland is written by Stana Nenadic and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1474493106 (ISBN 10) and 9781474493109 (ISBN 13).

This book examines individuals, families and communities of craftworkers and their changing experience in town and country. Based on case studies drawn from personal, business, institutional and official records, as well as newspaper reports and visual illustrations, it looks at workplace dynamics and handmade wares shaped by personal consumption, rather than industrial production. Stana Nenadic examines the 'things' that were made and the values they embodied at a time when most Scots were still engaged in hand making - either for income or pleasure - despite Scotland's emergence as a great industrial powerhouse.
