How to be a Victorian

Product Information

Children from poorer communities often worked in factories and on farms. The 1833 Factory Act made education a right for all children. But poor families often needed their children to work and earn money for the family, so they couldn't go to school.

Libro de no ficción que, siguiendo la estructura de una jornada prototípica, repasa cómo era la vida de las personas en la época victoriana, desde que se despertaban hasta que se acostaban. Es una colección de anécdotas y datos curiosos bien hilvanados y presentados de una manera bastante amena. Lo más interesante es la aproximación a la Historia que hace esta autora, ya que ella experimenta muchas de las cuestiones que describe: desde la ropa, los remedios caseros de higiene, las herramientas de trabajo o de cocina… etc, con lo cual, en muchos casos no depende de otras fuentes para documentarse sino que aporta su propia opinión y experiencias personales. This is a pre-dawn to fast-asleep story of the day detailing everything from what a poor girl, middle-class lady, working man would have used to wash their faces, through breakfast, work, children, medicine, leisure and so to bed. It is only political in as much as the laws of the day affect daily life, for example, working hours and education. It is perhaps the book that has brought me closest to exactly how a Victorian would have lived and experienced their lives. During conversations with those who accompany him, he would have his eyes on all of his company ensuring that he sustains his gentleness, mercifulness and tenderness towards all people no matter what they act like or who they are.

Child labour - a terrible stain on the Victorian era; until one recognises the struggle for food, money and heat. Industrialisation killed the wages of cottagers across traditional industries meaning children needed to work to help; and in turn people moved to towns to get better wages and more regular or even some employment; that in turn saw the machine age crave increased hours and more people to feed production that the world's largest empire required; including more children, women and men living near and working in or around the factories. a b c Robinson, Bruce (17 February 2011).

I was born in a hospital with access to national health service GPs (doctors) and chemists and education with school milk and dinners. The Victorians, unless one was middle/upper class did not have these and even if they did knowledge of diseases and illnesses and their treatment was far from the understanding we have today.

So – for example – we learn that Victorians usually slept with their windows open for fear of suffocation, that they still believed in the miasma theory although by and by scientific progress opened their eyes to the nature of infections, that early condoms were made from sheep guts, that milk was usually adulterated with water and dyed with chalk in big cities, and many other things. Goodman knows what she is talking about since she has not only studied various sources but also actually tried Victorian dress, Victorian make-up and Victorian work and can tell us a lot about her personal experience with these things. Her style is generally extremely sober and inornate because she seems to know that the facts she presents are interesting in themselves. a b Theodore., Hoppen, K. (30 June 2000).

A day thus spent is exhausting, and it is no surprise that so many women from the period mentioned in their diaries tempers fraying on wash day. . . In my own encounters, I did not mind the steam that filled the kitchen like a fog, but the constant change of temperature, from working inside with the hot pans to being outside in the cold moving water around, was almost unbearable.Katz, Victor (2009).

Goodman has some credibility in this field because she spent months living in re-created Victorian conditions on a farm. Her experience and anecdotes livened up the book, which could get a little dry at times. Yours was a genuinely bad and serious situation. A doctor shouldn't be suffering from false modesty. It makes me wonder what her culture was. She, no doubt, wouldn't have had any problem saying finger, wrist, arm, elbow etc. I'm not sure what I would think of having a doctor like. How does it make you think? a b Hobsbawn, Eric (1995). "Chapter Nine: The Golden Years". The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century 1914-1991. Abacus. ISBN 9780349106717.
