Books by Karen Lipsedge

At Home in the Eighteenth Century explores the eighteenth-century home as a site of significant transformation. Contributions from the fields of literature, history, archaeology, art history, heritage studies, and material culture develop greater understanding of the fluid nature of domestic space.

Examining the work of three authors: Richardson, Haywood and Burney, and their representation of domestic space, this book argues that to make such spaces accessible to modern readers they need to have information of the real domestic. By recreating specifics of these spaces this book innervates the fictional domestic interior for modern readers.
