Description
Informative, richly detailed, and entertaining, this book portrays daily life in England in 1700–1800, embracing all levels of society—from the aristocracy to the very poor—to describe a nation grappling with modernity. • Chronicles daily life in a place and time that was critical in forming the consumerism, industrialization, scientific thinking, and family structures of our modern world • Provides fascinating detail on the lives of people at different levels of social strata, not just the upper classes • Includes excerpts from seldom- or never-anthologized primary sources • Incorporates information from recent scholarship about 18th-century England, especially regarding gender roles
