This volume of primary source materials documents the nature of the
home and the theories and discussions around the concept. It
examines the class divisions that become evident with the
ostentatious lifestyles of political and society hostesses at the
peak, whilst middle-class housing often in suburbia, seemed to have
created a separation of home and work, arguably suggesting men and
women lived in separate spheres. Working-class interiors, often
seen the eyes of middle-class observers, were at the bottom of the
hierarchy and often reflected concerns of social inequality and
misery. The documents also address the process of purchasing and
decorating a home, advice on decoration and home management, the
nature of taste and comfort, and the symbolic roles of the home as
an anchor in society. Accompanied by extensive editorial
commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students
and scholars of art history.
