Nineteenth-century Britain was then the world's most prosperous
nation, yet Victorians would bury meat in earth and wring sheets
out in boiling water with their bare hands. Such drudgery was
routine for the parents of people still living, but the knowledge
of it has passed as if it had never been. Following the daily life
of a middle-class Victorian house from room to room; from
childbirth in the master bedroom through the kitchen, scullery,
dining room, and parlor, all the way to the sickroom; Judith
Flanders draws on diaries, advice books, and other sources to
resurrect an age so close in time yet so alien to our own.
