      abstract = {Publisher's description: The Victorian age is much closer  to us in time than we might believe. Yet at that time, in  the most technologically advanced nation in the world,  people buried meat in fresh earth to prevent mold forming  and wrung sheets out in boiling water with their bare  hands. Such household drudgery was routinely performed by  the grandparents of people still living, but the knowledge  of it has passed as if it had never been. Judith Flanders's  book is laid out like a Victorian house, taking you through  the story of daily life from room to room. In each space  she depicts the home's furnishings and decoration: from  childbirth in the master bedroom, through the scullery and  kitchen, the separate male and female domains of the  drawing room and the parlor, and ending in the sickroom. A  rich selection from diaries, letters, advice books,  magazines, and paintings fills the rooms with the people  and personalities of the age.},
