This book examines life in the homes inhabited by the working class
over the long nineteenth century. These working-class homes are
often imagined as distinctly unhomely spaces, which the inhabitants
struggled to fill with even the most basic of furniture, let alone
acquire the comforts associated with middle-class domestic space.
The concerned reformers of industrialising towns and cities painted
a picture of severe deprivation, of rooms that were both cramped
yet bare at the same time, and disease-ridden spaces from which
their subjects required rescue. It is an image which is not only
inadequate, but which also robs working-class people of their
agency in creating domestic spaces which allowed for the expression
of personal and familial feeling. Bringing together emerging
scholars who challenge these ideas and using a range of innovative
sources and approaches, this edited collection presents a new
understanding of working-class homes.
