Families and Farmhouses in Nineteenth-Century America: Vernacular Design and Social ChangeOxford University Press, 16 июн. 1988 г. - Всего страниц: 288 The antebellum era and the close of the 19th century frame a period of great agricultural expansion. During this time, farmhouse plans designed by rural men and women regularly appeared in the flourishing Northern farm journals. This book analyzes these vital indicators of the work patterns, social interactions, and cultural values of the farm families of the time. Examining several hundred owner-designed plans, McMurry shows the ingenious ways in which "progressive" rural Americans designed farmhouses in keeping with their visions of a dynamic, reformed rural culture. From designs for efficient work spaces to a concern for self-contained rooms for adolescent children, this fascinating story of the evolution of progressive farmers' homes sheds new light on rural America's efforts to adapt to major changes brought by industrialization, urbanization, the consolidation of capitalist agriculture, and the rise of the consumer society. |

Стр. 171 - To color, the true decorator must of course add the theme of fitness, for the "perfectly furnished house" was "a crystallization of the culture, the habits, and the tastes of the family." It not only expressed, but made character, and the "final charm of the home" could be attained only by the "perfect adaptation of principles to conditions both of nature and humanity.
Стр. 208 - It seems clear beyond dispute that the household space provided by the economy of abundance has been used to emphasize the separateness, the apartness, if not the isolation, of the American child. Not only the nourishment and housing, but also the clothing of the American infant are controlled by American abundance. For one of the most sweeping consequences of our abundance is that, in contrast to other peoples who keep their bodies warm primarily by wearing clothes, Americans keep their bodies...
