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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45045835628695,"sku":"9781350437364","price":3582.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350437364.webp?v=1769217322","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/domestic-space-in-britain-1750-1840-materiality-sociability-and-emotion-9781350437364","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
