Providing a historical overview, the authors explore how these alternative domestic spaces came to provide shelter for a diverse demographic of working women and men, retired army officers, gay people, students, bohemians, writers, artists, performers, migrants and asylum seekers, as well as shady figures and criminals. Drawing on historical records, case studies, and examples from literature, art, and film, the book examines how the prevalence and significance of bedsits and boarding houses in novels, plays, detective stories, Ealing comedies, and contemporary fiction and film produced its own genre of narrative. The nine chapters are written by an international range of established and emerging scholars in the fields of literary studies, art and film history, political theory, queer studies and cultural studies. A lively, highly original study, Living with Strangers makes a significant contribution to the cross-disciplinary field of home studies and provides insight into a crucial aspect of British cultural history. It is essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology, history, literary studies, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, film studies and cultural studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 650 0 $a Boardinghouses in literature. 650 0 $a Domestic space in literature. 650 0 $a Domestic space in motion pictures. 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Boardinghouses in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902578 650 7 $a Domestic space in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903046 650 7 $a Domestic space in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921022 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a English fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910866 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $y 20e sieÌcle $x Histoire et critique. $2 ram 650 7 $a Espace personnel $x Dans la litteÌrature. $2 ram 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Briganti, Chiara, $e editor. 700 1 $a Mezei, Kathy, $d 1947- $e editor. 830 0 $a Home (Bloomsbury (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212020541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98BD5FF4E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
