Про цю електронну книгу
TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WITH THE BBC'S RUTH GOODMAN
We know what life was like for Victoria and Albert. But what was it like for a commoner - like you or me?
How did it feel to cook with coal and wash with tea leaves?
Drink beer for breakfast and clean your teeth with cuttlefish?
Catch the omnibus to work and do the laundry in your corset?
How to be a Victorian is a radical new approach to history; a journey back in time more personal than anything before, illuminating the overlapping worlds of health, sex, fashion, food, school, work and play.
Surviving everyday life came down to the gritty details, the small necessities and tricks of living and this book will show you how.
