Based on selfnarratives (mostly diaries and letters), the book combines eight microhistories of families and their immediate social environments. The cases are deliberately taken from different social milieus in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, 1750-1900. Following this line, the outcome refers not only to sources from the bourgeoisie, well-covered in research, but sheds light on: the domestic life of 18th-century Pietist women, 19th-century high and petty bourgeoisie, Bildungsbürgertum, everyday life in a Biedermeier parsonage near Basel, domestic experiences of a travelling journeyman after the Revolution of 1848, the childhood of a girl, raised in the migrant proletariat of fin de siècle-Vienna and new, forward-looking ways to live marriage in the milieu of artists before World War I. Among other things, the book provides new insights into endogamous matchmaking, changing gender roles, domestic work and the 19th-century household as a vibrant place of open domesticity.
