Description

Explore the evolution of domestic life and consumer habits with Buying for the Home by Routledge. This academic study examines the relationship between the retail environment and the creation of domestic spaces from the seventeenth century to the present day. Through a detailed analysis, the book explores how retail agencies and discourses interact with the physical and imaginative re-creation of the home. It looks at the negotiations that happen within this key arena, studying how retailer strategies are met by the actions and desires of the homemaker acting as a consumer. Drawing on research from the Centre for the History of Retail and Domestic Consumption (CHORD), this work provides a deep look into the polarities of shopping and home life. It is an essential resource for those interested in business and economic history, offering a clear view of how shopping experiences have shaped the way we live and manage our personal spaces over several centuries.
