The period saw significant scientific and technological development. Britain was advanced in industry and engineering in particular, but somewhat undeveloped in art and education.

Later, at the beginning of the twentieth century, these symptoms would be referred to as ‘nervous complaints’; in the 1930s and 1940s, they would come together to be known as a ‘mental breakdown’; and in the twenty-first century, they would likely be termed ‘depression’." Drawing on Ruth's unique first-hand experience, gained from living on a Victorian farm for a year, this book will teach you everything you need to know about 19th century living. Yeo, Richard R.

Goodman writes at length about the clothes that people wore, changes in fashion, and how they looked after them. Her interest was surely sparked in part by the experiences she had when taking part in the television series where three historians actually spent several months living and working in a re-creation of a Victorian farm. Goodman was one of them. As a result she is able to do some of her writing on this subject from first hand knowledge. A quirk that interested me was that apparently servants were given cast-offs, and this acted as a spur for people to try and wear fashionable clothing. Unfashionable clothing meant you looked like a servant.

Goodman has brushed her teeth with soot, treated her chapped hands with home-made ointments, used a mangle and a copper for washing clothes, and lived according to the word of Mrs Beeton. She offers a commentary on the ‘great table-manners race’ as fashions and the movements in dining out became more widespread. The whole structure of the book is framed around a day in the life of a Victorian, from rising in the morning through the events of the day until they retired in the evening. By the end we know about sweat, body hair removal, and the advent of personal deodorants, as well as that age-old question of how Victorian ladies managed to do a poop in spite of all those petticoats. With remarkable ease as it turns out. Hewitt, Martin (Spring 2006). "Why the Notion of Victorian Britain Does Make Sense". Victorian Studies. 48 (3): 395–438. doi: 10.2979/VIC.2006.48.3.395.

After explaining the arduous process for washing clothes and linens] "My own historical laundry experiences have led me to see the powered washing machine as one of the great bulwarks of women's liberation, an invention that can sit alongside contraception and the vote in the direct impact it has had on changing women's lives." There are chapters on grooming, exercise, breakfast, the midday meal, the evening meal, leisure activities, the bedroom (sexual attitudes) and others, covering the practices of all social classes. She describes a factory worker's dinner consisting of a boiled potato and tea without milk or sugar, as well as the sumptuous family dinner served a la francaise in an upper middle class barrister's townhouse. Cecily At a secretarial college a couple of decades ago is infuriating, but not as bad as a female doctor to a female patient in 2018!At the start of the Victorian period, very few children went to school. Wealthy children were often taught at home by a governess and wealthy boys were sometimes sent to public school when they were ten. Girls from these families stayed at home and were taught skills such as cooking, sewing and how to play musical instruments. Roach, John (1957). "Liberalism and the Victorian Intelligentsia".

The couple had nine children, who themselves married into various royal families, and the queen thus became known as the 'grandmother of Europe'. [19] [10] In 1861, Albert died. [18] Victoria went into mourning and withdrew from public life for ten years. [10] In 1871, with republican sentiments growing in Britain, she began to return to public life. In her later years, her popularity soared as she became a symbol of the British Empire. Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901.
