Like its popular and acclaimed predecessor Restoration London, this
book is the result of the author's passionate interest in the
practical details of the everyday life of our ancestors, so often
ignored in more conventional history books. Based on every possible
contemporary source - diaries, almanacs, newspapers, advice books,
memoirs, government papers and reports - Liza Picard examines every
aspect of life in London: the streets, houses and gardens; cooking,
housework, laundry and shopping; clothes and jewellery, cosmetics
and hairdressing; medicine, sex, hobbies, education and etiquette;
religion and popular beliefs; law and crime. This book spans the
years 1740 to 1770, starting when the gin craze was gaining ground
and ending when the east coast of America was still British.
