The Domestic Revolution How The Introduction Of Coal Into Victorian Homes Changed Everything Ruth Goodman by Ruth Goodman B085TBZVYL instant download after payment.

“The
queen of living history” (Lucy Worsley) returns with an immersive
account of how English women sparked a worldwide revolution―from their
own kitchens.

No single invention epitomizes the
Victorian era more than the black cast-iron range. Aware that the
twenty-first-century has reduced it to a quaint relic, Ruth Goodman was
determined to prove that the hot coal stove provided so much more than
morning tea: it might even have kick-started the Industrial Revolution.
Wielding the wit and passion seen in
How to Be a Victorian,
Goodman traces the tectonic shift from wood to coal in the
mid-sixteenth century―from sooty trials and errors during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I to the totally smog-clouded reign of Queen Victoria. A
pattern of innovation emerges as the women stoking these fires also
stoked new global industries: from better soap to clean smudges to new
ingredients for cooking. Laced with uproarious anecdotes of Goodman’s
own experience managing a coal-fired household, this fascinating book
shines a hot light on the power of domestic necessity. 70

Review

"Goodman
offers a detailed, abundantly illustrated picture of the ways coal
changed daily life for all classes throughout Great Britain, drawing
from a prodigious number of sources. . . In addition, she recounts her
own experiences in facsimile houses. . . An engaging history of social
transformation."
Kirkus Reviews
