Judith Flanders, a historian and best-selling author of Victorian buildings and the Victorian city, reflects on the changes that the home and the very concept of it have undergone over the past 500 years. Using Europe and America as an example, the author traces how, gradually improving their homes, people acquired more and more new items and finally arrived at the house in which our contemporaries live with certain features. Along the “path” from the 16th to the 21st century, Flanders vividly and fascinatingly tells about when and how the first tables, chairs and toilets appeared, where beds “lived” initially and why people introduced curtains and tablecloths into use, as well as many other household items. The author pays special attention to how marriages were concluded and family relationships were built, how children were raised and what they were dressed in. Well, the author’s main idea is that home is a very special, separate place where we belong only to ourselves and can only be ourselves.
