A review by rosieclaverton
How to Be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman

5.0

I'm not a great reader of non-fiction, but How to Be a Victorian was enjoyable and accessible from the first words. This fascinating book, taking us step-by-step through a Victorian day throughout the reign, brought to life the real struggles of nineteenth century living with anecdotes from Goodman's personal research.

An excellent book which I would highly recommend to any writer considering a work in the nineteenth century and any person with a modicum of interest in the Victorian era, because this will surely fuel it.
