Material relations, now available in paperback, tells the story of
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century middle-class families by
exploring the domestic spaces they inhabited and the material goods
they prized. By opening the doors of the house, the book sheds new
light on aspects of family life including love, marriage, sex,
childhood and death. Historians have argued that as the nineteenth
century waned, domestic spaces became increasingly private.
Material relations challenges this, contending that domestic space
created a complex series of family intimacies. Drawing upon novels,
advice manuals and magazines, alongside sources for everyday use
such as diaries, autobiographies, sale catalogues and inventories,
wills and photographs, this fascinating book will be of particular
interest to scholars and students of modern history, English
literature, cultural studies, social geography, history of art and
history of design. -- .
