Judith Flanders tells the story of how the idea of 'home', a special and private place for families, developed economically, physically and emotionally. By tracing the development of ordinary household items in northwestern Europe and the USA - of windows, of cutlery, even tables and chairs - she shows how the idea itself was born and developed, dismantling many myths along the way.
