For example, because cloth was expensive, even having the means to make a rug out of rags was a luxury. Victorian homes were much colder, so having a rug on the floor would have been a small comfort. a b Hobsbawn, Eric (1995). "Chapter Nine: The Golden Years".

In 1840, Queen Victoria married her German cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The couple had nine children, who themselves married into various royal families, and the queen thus became known as the 'grandmother of Europe'. [19] [10] In 1861, Albert died. [18] Victoria went into mourning and withdrew from public life for ten years. [10] In 1871, with republican sentiments growing in Britain, she began to return to public life. In her later years, her popularity soared as she became a symbol of the British Empire. Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901. [19] Society and culture Kline, Morris (1972).

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.
