Between privacy and openness of life. Landladies of Polish Kingdom at the turn 19th and 20th century

Summary/Abstract: Polish Kingdom landladies from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century belonged continually to an elite social group, which was eagerly discussed over in press, written cards about or condemned. At the same time landladies left a lot of information sources behind themselves, allowing to look back at their private everyday life. Emerging from diverse sources, the picture is even more curious because at that time, the boundaries of privacy and publicity of private life, became redefined. Love and body and were placed between taboo and affirmation. All of this was reflected in the “dancing walls of the court” and the revolutions of building constructions carried out by housewives who followed the fashion, but also wished to enhance the quality of life at the same time wanted to preserve their intimacy. The turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with fading Victorian era and current modernism was a time of chaos and both social and moral and changes in culture and a look at the landladies’ world may be one of the points that describe the very problem.
