How a residence determined the success or failure of a marriage; lives of spinsters and bachelors.
Amanda reveals how “taste” became the buzzword of the age and gave women a new outlet for their creativity, raising their status in the home as a consequence.
Georgian houses may seem like sanctuaries of calm elegance today, but at the time they were noisy, chaotic places bursting with extended families, servants, and lodgers and threatened by lawlessness. Using sources from intimate diaries to Old Bailey records, Amanda reveals how the Georgians made their houses havens of security and how they fought to make their homes their castles.
