  • More about Home and Identity in Nineteenth-Century Literary London

The book explores radical designs for the home in the nineteenth-century metropolis and the texts that shaped them, uncovering innovative housing designs and examining the literary engagement with new models of urban housing. It highlights how these new homes provided material and creative space for thinking through the relationship between home and identity and offers ways in which we might learn from the creative responses to the nineteenth-century housing crisis.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 232 pages
Publication date: 17 May 2022
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press


The nineteenth-century metropolis witnessed a surge of radical designs for the home, driven by London's rapid growth and expansion. This book explores these innovative housing designs, drawing on the writing of prominent authors such as Charles Dickens and George Gissing, as well as understudied novels and essays. It highlights the ways in which these new homes provided material and creative space for thinking through the relationship between home and identity. By examining visual and literary representations, Robertson offers readers a new blueprint for understanding the ways in which novels imaginatively and materially produce the city's built environment.
