Become a Victorian

About This Novel

A guide to daily life from dawn to dusk, peeking into the secrets of the Victorians from basic necessities, food, housing and transportation! Before the sun shines through the first window, the person who knocks on the window holds a long pole and a lamp, and knocks on the window door to door to wake up the client. On cold winter mornings, they insisted on brushing their teeth with toothbrushes and washing their faces with soap at the sink. Before going out, they will use fashion magazines to enhance their aesthetics, and use wigs, loose powder and cream to make up for their shortcomings. During long working days, they always carried enamel buckets with only light food to go to work. ? In the bedroom, half of the people are pure and pure, and the other half are wild and unrestrained. Using herself as a guide, experiential historian Ruth Goodman takes us through the novel and exotic lives of 19th-century Victorians over a period of 60 years by narrating the daily chores of Victorian men and women from dawn to dusk. In chronological order, Goodman not only shows us the washing utensils, clothing and cosmetics used by the Victorians, but also introduces us to the food culture, high technology and daily work at this time. More importantly, she combines theory with personal practice to demonstrate the great conceptual innovations in personal hygiene, kitchen science and sex in the Victorian era, overturning long-standing misunderstandings about the Victorians - they were once considered to be unhygienic, overly formal or boring. Open this book and you will learn the vivid historical details.
