This Reader gathers together significant writing on domestic space through history and across cultures and disciplines, ranging from anthropology to fiction. As its Latin source (domesticus; domus) suggests, ‘domestic’ signifies of/belonging to the home, house, or household. And so the concept, ‘domestic space,’ as presented in this Reader, takes into account the material, psychological, spiritual, gendered, social, cultural, and political aspects of house, home, and garden in the context of the everyday and of human relationships within and beyond the house.
