Publisher: Pan Macmillan
In recent years, house histories have emerged as a captivating and participatory realm of popular history, drawing individuals who have embarked on genealogical research and unearthed family secrets. These individuals are now delving into the hidden treasures within their homes, forging a direct connection to earlier generations. Surprisingly, it is the ordinary homes, rather than grand public buildings or the opulent mansions of the wealthy, that hold the most captivating stories.
Similar to the television series, "A House Through Time," this book provides readers with the necessary tools to explore the histories of their own homes while also offering a vividly readable account of the British city, the forces of industry, disease, mass transportation, crime, and class. The book vividly depicts the ups and downs, shifts in fortunes, and the remarkable journey that a single house can undertake, transitioning from an elegant dwelling in a fashionable district to a tenement for society's rejects.
Packed with remarkable human stories, David Olusoga and Melanie Backe-Hansen provide a profound insight into living history, a history that is readily observable in the streets where we reside. It serves as a reminder that our true selves are revealed at home, where we can authentically live out our inner lives and family dynamics behind closed doors and drawn curtains.
