«This volume contributes remarkably to the field of research on domestic space. It is an essential contribution to the discussion of spatiality of France and Belgium through its innovative and multidisciplinary themes and approaches.»

«This brilliant and impressively edited anthology encompasses an eloquent analysis of how literature and art reflected the transience in domestic interiors. The chapters of this absorbing and revealing book portray domesticity as a main narrative via the distinctive contributions by the valuable eminent scholars in the field.»
