It argues that this institutional space was infused with domestic ideas and emotional attachments both for its wealthier male settlers and for its poorer users. The article demonstrates how a 'room biography' approach can enable us to look at settlement space differently. Rather than seeing institutional space as a background for where things happened to people, the room biography approach developed here interprets space as an active participant in the formation of settlement sociality. By zooming in on Toynbee's everyday spaces, this article demonstrates how settlement ideals of renewed cross-class friendship and homosocial relations were lived in practice and considers the micro-spaces of settling. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
