Description
Living with Strangers examines the history and cultural representation of bed-sitting rooms and boarding houses in England from the early twentieth century to the present day. This comprehensive study explores how these alternative domestic spaces came to provide shelter for diverse populations including working women and men, retired army officers, gay people, students, bohemians, writers, artists, performers, migrants and asylum seekers. Drawing on historical records, case studies, and examples from literature, art, and film, the book traces how bedsits and boarding houses shaped modern English life and continue to influence contemporary cultural narratives. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work offers valuable insights into the social history of shared housing and its representation across multiple media.
