The bachelor has long held an ambivalent, uncomfortable and even at
times unfriendly position in society. This book carefully considers
the complicated relationships between the modern queer bachelor and
interior design, material culture and aesthetics in Britain between
1885 and 1957. The seven deadly sins of the modern bachelor
(queerness, idolatry, askesis, decadence, the decorative, glamour
and artifice) comprise a contested site and reveal in their
respective ways the distinctly queer twinning of shame and
resistance. It pays close attention to the interiors of Lord Ronald
Gower, Alfred Taylor, Oscar Wilde, Charles Shannon and Charles
Ricketts, Edward Perry Warren and John Marshall, Sir Cedric Morris
and Arthur Lett-Haines, Noel Coward and Cecil Beaton. Richly
illustrated and written in a lively and accessible manner,
Bachelors of a different sort is at once theoretically ambitious
and rich in its use of archival and various historical sources. --
