"Modernism and the Architecture of Private Life" offers a bold
new assessment of the role of the domestic sphere in modernist
literature, architecture, and design. Elegantly synthesizing
modernist literature with architectural plans, room designs, and
decorative art, Victoria Rosner's work explores the collaborations
among modern British writers, interior designers, and architects in
redefining the form, function, and meaning of middle-class private
life. Drawing on a host of previously unexamined archival sources
and works by figures such as E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Oscar Wilde,
James McNeill Whistler, and Virginia Woolf, Rosner highlights the
participation of modernist literature in the creation of an
experimental, embodied, and unstructured private life, which we
continue to characterize as "modern."
