| Research Abstract |
This study explored how the ideology of domesticity could be conceptualized, and demonstrated that “boardinghouse” and its representations as a stark contrast for “home” had affected nineteenth-century America culturally as well as socially. Boardinghouse as cultural/social imagination in a wide range of literary and non-literary antebellum texts suggested that domesticity had affirmed its commitment to the nineteenth-century politics of culture.
