Opis

From the parlor organ inside to the stained glass and Gothic arches outside, the ideal Christian Victorian home reflected the flowering of domestic religion in America. But, as Colleen McDannel shows, Protestants and Catholics differed markedly in their understanding of the home as sacred space. McDannell compares styles of interior decoration, Sabbath rituals, funeral and mourning practices, and patterns of parental leadership in nineteenth-century Protestant and Catholic homes to elucidate the different strategies used by these two groups in dealing with the rapid social change of the period. She looks at where weddings were held, what functions rosary beads and the Bible served, and how the popular Gothic style of architecture was de-Romanized for mainstream anti-Catholic evangelicals. Through questions such as these, and through examination of a wide range of sources, McDannell addresses important issues of cultural assimilation, religious antagonism, and the evolution of middle-class values.
