How home life keeps changing while ideals remain
2015
Overview
While the idea of \"home\" remains constant -- the epitome of the familiar and reliable -- actual home life is messier and changes all the time. So says Judith Flanders, author of \"The Making of Home: The 500-Year Story of How Our Houses Became Our Homes\" (Thomas Dunne Books, September 2015), in which she traces the evolution of the home, and concepts of home, in northern Europe and America from the 16th century to the early 20th century. For instance, while some might think that families and marriages used to be more stable, \"broken homes were the absolute norm in most of history,\" she says. \"A home can't be any more broken than if one parent is dead.\" \"The reason the idea of 'home' survives is because it's so fluid that it can encompass rapidly changing social customs,\" says Flanders. \"It's a nice warm quilt to wrap ourselves in to keep out the cold that's outside.\"
