The older text refers to home at multiple times as a construct or building. It is also often mentioned in context of safekeeping and defending it. More as a base need than a feeling. A territory that was more like a bunker than an actual home whilst the more modern text talks about different aspects and functions of a home rather than the base need of a safe place to reproduce, groom etc.
Porteus has an abundance of valid points in his text but lack the modern way of thinking of a home. Not to blame him since he is from a different era this is to be expected.
Mallet on the other hand focuses on a multitude of subjects which makes the definition of a home rather broad and it is at times hard to follow, especially when it reaches the point of ideal homes and the essence of home rather than its physical aspects.
The changes are obvious yet they both relate heavily to each other in the sense of some core beliefs of what a home should be to you.
The refugee or haven point is made by both authors along with other core points of what a home should supply you with. The definition of what a home is, is somewhat contested though.
