More about the book
Set in 1865, this collection explores the impact of consumerism on domestic life through the eyes of Christopher Crowfield. The first essay, "Ravages of a Carpet," highlights the contrast between new, lavish possessions and the comfort found in old, familiar surroundings. Stowe critiques the growing Northern middle class's obsession with material goods, suggesting that true home is defined by warmth and connection rather than wealth. The series includes reflections on home economics, the role of servants, and the essence of what constitutes a home.
