Open Houses: Poverty, The Novel, And The Architectural Idea In Nineteenth-Century Britain (Haney Foundation Series)

Barbara Leckie's Open Houses addresses nineteenth-century documentary and print culture dedicated to convincing the reader of the wretchedness of housing of the poor and its urgent need for reform. It illustrates the ways in which "looking into" these houses animated new models for social critique in tandem with new forms for the novel.
