Domestic advice literature is rich in information about design,
ideals of domesticity, consumption and issues of identity, yet this
literature remains a relatively neglected resource in comparison
with magazines and film. Design at Home brings together etiquette,
homemaking and home decoration advice as sources in the first
systematic demonstration of the historical value of domestic advice
literature as a genre of word and image, and a discourse of
dominance. This book traces a transatlantic domestic dialogue
between the UK and the US as the chapters explore issues of design,
domesticity, consumption, social interaction and identity markers
including class, gender and age. Areas covered include: * the use
of domestic advice by historians * relationships between advice,
housing and the middle class * links between advice and gender *
advice and the teenage consumer Design at Home is essential reading
for students and scholars of cultural and social history, design
history, and cultural studies.
