The Victorian parlour : a cultural study
The parlour was the centre of the Victorian home and, as Thad Logan shows, the place where contemporary conflicts about domesticity and gender relations were played out. In The Victorian Parlour: A Cultural Study, Logan uses an interdisciplinary approach to describe and analyse the parlour as a significant cultural space.
