Utilising extensive archival research; visual, material, and textual analysis; and histories of emotion, sociability, and materiality, it sheds light on the decoration and reception of a broad array of domestic spaces. In so doing, it writes a new history of late 18th- and early 19th-century domestic space, establishing the materiality of the home as a crucial site for identity formation, social interaction, and emotional expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Freya Gowrley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350437360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350437364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Freya Gowrley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571190583551,"sku":"9781350437364","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7dcfab4a-75af-4a59-b3f8-01da26e0e749.jpg?v=1738807505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/domestic-space-in-britain-1750-1840-freya-gowrley-9781350437364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
