At Home In The Institution by Jane Hamlett
Material Life in Asylums, Lodging Houses and Schools in Victorian and Edwardian England
This insightful exploration delves into the intricate dynamics of domestic life within British institutions from the 19th to the early 20th century. It examines how spaces like schools, asylums, and hospitals were not just places of confinement but also environments where personal and communal identities were shaped. Through a detailed analysis of architecture, daily routines, and personal narratives, the work reveals how these institutions mirrored broader societal norms and values, offering a nuanced understanding of the intersection between public and private life during this transformative period.
