Abstract
AbstractThis article explores the gendered translation of global objects collected by Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, duchess of Portland (1715‐1785), and displayed in her museum at Bulstrode Park. It does so by engaging with the epistolary and craft productions of women associated with the site, revealing how materials assembled from around the world served to advance Bluestocking values and female friendship. It demonstrates how processes of collecting and crafting served to map a complex and rapidly expanding material world within an elite domestic environment to reflect the carefully cultivated identities of the duchess and her circle.
