A Cultural History of the Home presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes covers over 2800 years of history, charting the changing nature and uses of domestic space throughout history.

This volume, A Cultural History of the Home in the Modern Age, explores the place of and the cultural practices associated with the home from 1920 to the present day. As with all the volumes in the illustrated Cultural History of the Home set, this volume presents essays on the meaning of home, family, the house as a physical space, furniture, work, gender, hospitality and religion.

A Cultural History of the Home in the Modern Age is the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on the home in the modern period.
