M. Damkjær

Time, Domesticity and Print Culture in Nineteenth-Century Britain

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This innovative study shows that nineteenth-century texts gave domesticity not just a spatial but also a temporal dimension. Novels by Dickens and Gaskell, as well as periodicals, cookery books and albums, all showed domesticity as a process. Damkjær argues that texts' material form had a profound influence on their representation of domestic time.
