I have a meeting with my advisor today, so I scrambled to make some kind of synthesis of all the readings I've done on the Victorian family and home. I find three big themes. Number three will shock you! (Probably not.)
Reading list:
Cambridge Economic History of Britain
Cambridge Social History of Britain
Deborah Cohen, Household Gods (2010)
Hugh Cunningham, Children and Childhood in Western Society Since 1500 (2005)
John Gillis, A World of Their Own Making (1997)
Ruth Goodman, How To Be A Victorian (2014)
Judith Walkowitz, City of Dreadful Delight (1992)
