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.
