- Double-weighted statement
- This wide-ranging monograph examines the representation of ‘home’ in four main settings: the slum, the boarding house, working-class childhood homes, and housing estates. Its long historical scope (1880-2012) and wide range of source material (it discusses Charles Booth, Octavia Hill, James Joyce, Pat O'Mara, Rose Macaulay, Patrick Hamilton, Sam Selvon, Sarah Waters, Lynsey Hanley and Andrea Levy, among others) necessitated extensive research, the last phase of which was completed during a postdoctoral fellowship at Leeds.
