A Cultural History of the Home in Antiquity
‘Home’ is a powerful idea throughout antiquity, from Odysseus’ epic journey to recover his own home, nostalgically longed-for through his long absence, to the implanting of Christianity in the domestic sphere in late antiquity. We can recognise the idea even if there is no word for it that quite corresponds to our own: the Greek oikos and the Latin domus mean both house and family, the essential components of home. To attempt a history of ‘the ho…
The Organization and Use of Household Space for Work in Early Modern England
This paper explores the neglected topic of the organization and use of household space for work (paid and unpaid) during the early modern period. It engages critically with the concept of ‘the open house’ in relation to recent arguments about processes of spatial and social closure of houses and households in the early modern period associated with the development of a capitalist socio-economic system. Drawing on a variety of sources including di…

Jane Whittle and Elizabeth Griffiths. Consumption and Gender in the Early Seventeenth-Century Household
This interesting and important book is based on a continuous series of household accounts kept by Lady Alice Le Strange of Hunstanton in Norfolk between 1610 and 1654. It includes a wealth of fascinating details about early modern daily life but the book is far from an antiquarian curiosity. Jane Whittle and Elizabeth Griffiths have adopted a micro-historical approach and set their study of the material aspects of the Le Strange household within …
Space, Place, and Gender
Much has been written about the history of the work of men and women in the premodern past. It is now generally acknowledged that early modern ideological assumptions about a strict division of work and space between men and productive work outside the house on the one hand, and women and reproduction and consumption inside the house, on the other, bore little relation to reality. Household work strategies, out of necessity, were diverse. Yet wha…
Gender, Space, and Place
The boundary between home and work was very blurred in early modern England. Domestic production was an essential element of early modern life and many families had servants and apprentices living and working with them under the same roof. But, to date, little investigation has been conducted into the impact that these practices had on the character of domestic space and how experience varied between different household members. This article atte…
