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 Child labour - a terrible stain on the Victorian era; until one recognises the struggle for food, money and heat. Industrialisation killed the wages of cottagers across traditional industries meaning children needed to work to help; and in turn people moved to towns to get better wages and more regular or even some employment; that in turn saw the machine age crave increased hours and more people to feed production that the world's largest empire required; including more children, women and men living near and working in or around the factories. How did it feel to cook with coal and wash with tea leaves? Drink beer for breakfast and clean your teeth with cuttlefish? Catch the omnibus to work and do the laundry in your corset?

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman, as the song goes. It was especially hard to be a Victorian woman. We think we know, and we certainly do – on many levels – understand the hardships that people underwent on a daily basis, from morning until night. But is this awareness not just one of academic, historic facts? Do we really appreciate or empathise with what our Victorian forbears endured? Written by a lady who not only knows the history, politics, and social issues of the era, she also happens to do a lot of historical recreation, so she has hands-on knowledge of a lot of the everyday things she talks about. For example, in one chapter she talks about clothes, and she goes not only into detail of what the clothes were but how they were made and what they feel like to wear, which was fascinating. Religion was politically controversial during this era, with Nonconformists pushing for the disestablishment of the Church of England. [40] Nonconformists comprised about half of church attendees in England in 1851, [note 5] [41] and gradually the legal discrimination that had been established against them outside of Scotland was removed. [42] [43] [44] [45] Legal restrictions on Roman Catholics were also largely removed. The number of Catholics grew in Great Britain due to conversions and immigration from Ireland. [40] Secularism and doubts about the accuracy of the Old Testament grew among people with higher levels of education. [46] Northern English and Scottish academics tended to be more religiously conservative, whilst agnosticism and even atheism (though its promotion was illegal) [47] gained appeal among academics in the south. [48] Historians refer to a 'Victorian Crisis of Faith', a period when religious views had to readjust to accommodate new scientific knowledge and criticism of the Bible.

Goodman skilfully creates a portrait of daily Victorian life with accessible, compelling, and deeply sensory prose' Erin Entrada Kelly Damit sind nicht nur hygienische Bäder nach der Arbeit gemeint, sondern vor allem Gesundheitsbäder. Diesbezüglich waren die Viktorianer äußerst erfindungsreich - Hauptsache es war teuer. Cynda Yes. A Vibrator. Many if the medical devices we have at home started as being only in the doctor's office. In addition to vibrators, there was clerical manipulation. Yep. The professionalisation of scientific study began in parts of Europe following the French Revolution but was slow to reach Britain. William Whewell coined the term 'scientist' in 1833 to refer to those who studied what was generally then known as natural philosophy, but it took a while to catch on. Having been previously dominated by amateurs with a separate income, the Royal Society admitted only professionals from 1847 onwards. The British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley indicated in 1852 that it remained difficult to earn a living as a scientist alone. [48] Scientific knowledge and debates such as that about Charles Darwin's book on evolution gained a high profile. Simplified (and at times inaccurate) popular science was increasingly distributed through a variety of publications which caused tension with the professionals. [94] There were significant advances in various fields of research, including statistics, [95] elasticity, [96] refrigeration, [97] natural history, [48] electricity [98] and logic. [99] Crew stood with a railway engine (1873)The period saw significant scientific and technological development. Britain was advanced in industry and engineering in particular, but somewhat undeveloped in art and education. Great Britain's population increased rapidly, while Ireland's fell sharply. Die Britin ist freiberufliche Historikerin und auf das oben genannte Zeitalter spezialisiert. Ich habe schon einige BBC-Dokumentationen zu diesem Thema gesehen, die meisten von und mit Ruth Goodman und auch auf YouTube tummelt sich die Dame. Sie hat auf einer Viktorianischen Farm gelebt, ohne Annehmlichkeiten des heutigen Zeitalters, hat gekocht, genäht und sich in enge Korsetts gezwängt und dies nicht nur für eine Woche, sondern für ein ganzes Jahr.
