Description
Why did people sleep sitting up in the Middle Ages? Why are two centuries called the “unwashed” ones? For what reason did women of the Victorian era often faint? How did people get by without toilet paper? Why were they afraid to eat fruit? Lucy Worsley answers these and many other questions in her vivid account of an English home full of many picturesque, almost tangible details… In this engaging tour through the history of the parlor, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, she focuses not so much on rooms and interior furnishings, but on how people lived and what they did in bed, in the bath, at the table, and by the stove. After reading this book, the reader will see their own home with new eyes.
