Abstract:
Design historian and critic Penny Sparke provides a persuasive account of the forces, conflicts and debates that have underpinned the emergence of 'the modern interior'. She unravels the shift from Victorian to modern style, and demonstrates that the easy transition so frequently portrayed is little more than a mythology.
