A Cultural History of the Home provides a comprehensive survey of the domestic space from ancient times to the present. Spanning 2800 years, the six volumes explore how different cultures and societies have established, developed and used the home. It reveals a great deal about how people have lived day-to-day in a range of regions and epochs by providing a historical focus on the location in which they will have spent much of their time: the domestic space.

2. A Cultural History of the Home in the Medieval Age (800 - 1450)
3. A Cultural History of the Home in the Renaissance (1450 - 1648)
4. A Cultural History of the Home in the Age of Enlightenment (1648 - 1815)
5. A Cultural History of the Home in the Age of Empire (1815 - 1920)

2. Family and Household
3. The House
4. Furniture and Furnishings
5. Home and Work
