During the period of the Enlightenment, the word ‘home’ could
refer to a specific and defined physical living space, the location
of domestic life, and a concept related to ideas of roots, origins,
and retreat. The transformations that the Enlightenment encouraged
created the circumstances for the concept of home to change and
develop in the following three ways. First to influence homemaking
were the literary and cultural manifestations that included issues
around attitudes to education, social order and disorder,
sensibility, and sexuality. Secondly, were the roles of visual and
material culture of the home that demonstrated themselves through
print, portraiture, literature, objects and products, and dress and
fashion. Thirdly, were the industrial and sociological aspects that
included concepts of luxury, progress, trade and technology,
consumption, domesticity, and the notions of public and private
spaces within a home. The chapters in this volume therefore discuss
and reflect upon issues relating to the home through a range of
approaches. Enlightenment homes are examined in terms of
signification and meaning; the persons who inhabited them; the
physical buildings and their furniture and furnishings; the work
undertaken within them; the differing roles of men and women; the
nature of hospitality, and the important role of religion in the
home. Taken together they give a valuable overview of the manners,
customs, and operation of the Enlightenment home.
