Description

Interiors of Empire examines the domestic and public spaces of the British and local middle classes during the height of the British Raj through design history and material culture studies. This scholarly work contrasts contemporary representations of colonial interiors with historical evidence, analysing how space was actually used and the social practices that shaped it. By exploring texts, spaces, objects and practices in detail, the book grounds the domestic interiors and public spaces of empire within the broader history of British colonisation in India. Part of the Studies in Design and Material Culture series from Manchester University Press, this used book in good condition offers valuable insights into how design, architecture and material culture reflected and reinforced imperial power structures across the Indian subcontinent between 1800 and 1947.

Manchester University Press published this work as part of the Studies in Design and Material Culture academic series.

The study contrasts contemporary discourse representations with actual historical analysis of empire's interior design and spatial organisation.

This used book in good condition explores how architecture and objects reflected imperial power and identity across India from 1800-1947.
