Main article: Mathematics, science, technology and engineering of the Victorian era Michael Faraday delivering a Christmas Lecture at the Royal Institution ( c. 1855) The business is ok but there are 1/3rd less people on the island and everyone's first priority is fixing their houses, cars (almost all cars are damaged) and replacing furniture, clothes etc. There are some die-hard book collectors who are replacing their collections though!

Dieses Buch verdient eine ausführliche Vorstellung, also Ladies, schnallt Eure Korsetts fester, Gentlemen, richtet Eure Bowlers, denn hier taucht man in das wahre viktorianische Zeitalter ein.I got this because I have ancestors who were living in England during the Victorian era so I enjoy learning about what their lives were like. I thought this was good & enjoyed it, altho it seemed very long. She does talk about the differences in how the different classes lived so you do get a total perspective. The author lived as a Victorian so she could experience everything but I wish she had gone more into how that came to be rather than just mentioning it in passing. It wasn't till near the end she said she had done it for about a year & throughout she had mentioned she had worked on a farm. But I would like to know: Ruth Goodman does. Not only has she suffered from housemaid’s knee, worn a corset, and cooked almost everything from pottage to cottage loaves in a Victorian range, she has also not bathed or washed her hair for months, apart from the traditional stand-up cold water wash, or a scrub down with a rough flannel. Can you say that you have committed the same level of physical dedication to your research? I think not!

To many people’s surprise, the gentleman was not meant to think too much of himself and be egotistical. Instead, he chose not to bring himself or matters concerning himself up in the day to day conversation. In fact, even if he was insulted by slander or gossip, this would still not spur him on to defend his reputation by a few rumours. Johnson, Dale A. (2011). "Nonconformism". In Mitchell, Sally (ed.).

Most of the book is. It is very low key, but the author is even better than Liza Picard at giving the details so necessary to imagine what it is was liv..." a b Atterbury, Paul (17 February 2011).

I was looking for more insight into the day-to-day life of people in the era, and this was perfect. Seriously amazing.
