Changes in the routines of domestic life were among the most
striking social phenomena of the period between the two World Wars,
when the home came into focus as a problem to be solved:
re-imagined, streamlined, electrified, and generally cleaned up.
Modernist writers understood themselves to be living in an epochal
moment when the design and meaning of home life were reconceived.
Moving among literature, architecture, design, science, and
technology, Machines for Living shows how the modernization of the
home led to profound changes in domestic life and relied on a set
of emergent concepts, including standardization, scientific method,
functionalism, efficiency science, and others, that form the basis
of literary modernism and stand at the confluence of modernism and
modernity. Even as modernist writers criticized the expanding reach
of modernization into the home, they drew on its conceptual
vocabulary to develop both the thematic and formal commitments of
literary modernism. Rosner's work develops a new methodology for
interdisciplinary modernist studies and shows how the reinvention
of domestic life is central to modernist literature.
