About the book >.>.> From television to magazines exhibitions trade shows and the Internet we constantly see and are sold images of real and ideal interiors. More than ever our own interiors and those of people in public life are the subject of enquiry and curiosity. There is in the West an extraordinary fascination with the home its appearance function and identity. Given this public interest in the domestic interior a book that seeks to understand the meanings of images and descriptions of the domestic interior across a broad historical span seems timely. Imagined Interiors surveys changing representations of the domestic interior and seeks to understand some of the meanings ascribed to them in Europe and North America from 1400 to the present. The interest in describing and portraying the interior of peoples homes is clearly not a new phenomenon and it is the history of those representations between 1400 and the present that this book engages with and investigates.
