Design at Home brings together etiquette, homemaking and home decoration sources in the first systematic demonstration of the historical value of the category of domestic advice literature for understanding homes of the past as socially and materially constructed. Using a transatlantic perspective, this book traces a domestic dialogue between the UK and the US as the chapters explore issues of design, domesticity, consumption, social interaction and identity markers including class, gender and age. It asks: who was really best served by the solutions offered? Design at Home will interest students, teachers and researchers working in cultural and social history, design history, popular culture studies, American studies, women's and gender studies and youth and family studies.
