Summary:

"Literature on domestic interior decoration first emerged as a popular genre in Britain during the 1870's and 1880's, as middle-class readers sought decorating advice from books, household manuals, women's magazines and professional journals ... [this book] shows how it was influenced by the widespread liberalism of the middle class"--Page 2 of cover.
