HIST 039 - At Home in 19th Century America: Domesticity and American Culture

In order to underscore both the unity and diversity of nineteenth-century cultural life, this course revisits the variety of places Americans called home –middle-class suburban houses to working-class tenements, frontier dugouts to urban settlement houses–while considering the shifting interpretations of these spaces from within and without. Beginning with the rise of home as a haven from the uncertainties of public life, it traces the popular celebration of home as a moral force, notes the movement of domesticity into the public worlds of politics and reform, and concludes with a consideration of home’s relationship with and penetration by and of the marketplace. Fulfills Historial Perspective.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered periodically.
