Description

In late Enlightenment Germany, writers such as Campe, Hippel, and La Roche imagined the home as a space where true "humanity" would be realized. The cultural formation of domesticity - a set of practices, emotions, and values culminating in the "feel" of being at home and belonging - was part of a complex, high-stakes discourse on the pursuit of happiness as a life well lived. Karin A. Wurst examines didactic novels by female authors and a variety of other contemporary texts in pursuit of a nuanced rethinking of women's roles as wives, mothers, and housekeepers and as creators of the cultural spaces of the home.
