This book explores the ways in which the lives and routines of a wide range of people across different parts of Europe and the wider world were structured and played out through everyday practices.

This book traces the changes in layout, the new technologies, and innovations in furniture that made country houses more comfortable, but argues that comfort was also found in daily routines, religious faith and relationships with family and friends.

At Home in the Eighteenth Century explores the eighteenth-century home as a site of significant transformation. Contributions from the fields of literature, history, archaeology, art history, heritage studies, and material culture develop greater understanding of the fluid nature of domestic space.
