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 by Ruth Goodman is a radical new
approach to history; a journey back in time more personal than
anything before. Moving through the rhythm of the day, this
astonishing guide illuminates 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 Ruth will show you how. If you liked A Time
Traveller's Guide to Medieval England or 1000 Years of Annoying the
French, you will love this book. ***** 'Goodman skilfully creates a
portrait of daily Victorian life with accessible, compelling, and
deeply sensory prose' Erin Entrada Kelly 'We're lucky to have such
a knowledgeable cicerone as Ruth Goodman . . . Revelatory'
Alexandra Kimball 'Goodman's research is impeccable . . . taking
the reader through an average day and presenting the oddities of
life without condescension' Patricia Hagen
