Product Information

A "delightful reader's companion" ( The New York Times ) to the great nineteenth-century British novels of Austen, Dickens, Trollope, the Brontës, and more, this lively guide clarifies the sometimes bizarre maze of rules and customs that governed life in Victorian England. For anyone who has ever wondered whether a duke outranked an earl, when to yell "Tally Ho!" at a fox hunt, or how one landed in "debtor's prison," this book serves as an indispensable historical and literary resource. Author Daniel Pool provides countless intriguing details (did you know that the "plums" in Christmas plum pudding were actually raisins?) on the Church of England, sex, Parliament, dinner parties, country house visiting, and a host of other aspects of nineteenth-century English life--both "upstairs" and "downstairs. An illuminating glossary gives at a glance the meaning and significance of terms ranging from "ague" to "wainscoting," the specifics of the currency system, and a lively host of other details and curiosities of the day.

  • Great reference guide

    This book is very good for someone who reads alot of books taking place in the 1800s as well as those who enjoy Jane Austen movies. You can even skip thru sections you are not interested in. I bought it more out of curiousity because I do read alot of books and movies taking place in the 19th century. I found it helpful, interesting, and well written. I plan to keep it as a handy reference guide.

  • Great reference book

    Great for writers who work in Regency and Victorian eras.
