From the award-winning author of The Gentleman’s Daughter,a witty and academic illumination of daily domestic life in Georgian England. In this brilliant work, Amanda Vickery unlocks the homes of Georgian England to examine the lives of the people who lived there. Writing with her customary wit and verve, she introduces us to men and women from all walks of life: gentlewoman Anne Dormer in her stately Oxfordshire mansion, bachelor clerk and future novelist Anthony Trollope in his dreary London lodgings, genteel spinsters keeping up appearances in two rooms with yellow wallpaper, servants with only a locking box to call their own.Vickery makes ingenious use of upholsterer’s ledgers, burglary trials, and other unusual sources to reveal the roles of house and home in economic survival, social success, and political representation during the long eighteenth century. Through the spread of formal visiting, the proliferation of affordable ornamental furnishings, the commercial celebration of feminine artistry at home, and the currency of the language of taste, even modest homes turned into arenas of social campaign and exhibition.The basis of a 3-part TV series for BBC2.“Vickery is that rare thing, an…historian who writes like a novelist.”—Jane Schilling, Daily Mail“Comparison between Vickery and Jane Austen is irresistible…This book is almost too pleasurable, in that Vickery's style and delicious nosiness conceal some seriously weighty scholarship.”—Lisa Hilton, The Independent“If until now the Georgian home has been like a monochrome engraving, Vickery has made it three dimensional and vibrantly colored. Behind Closed Doors demonstrates that rigorous academic work can also be nosy, gossipy, and utterly engaging.”—Andrea Wulf, New York Times Book Review

Being the avid social history lover that I am, I was elated to discover a book that provided information of the Georgians and their homes. I had high hopes for this book, and I certainly was not disappointed! While she states that the book is mainly focused on the culture of the middle class, the reader is also able to learn bits here and there about the lower and higher classes through comparison or interesting information that aids in our educational journey for the middle class. From wallpaper to lock boxes, she explains them all and quite the impact that they had in daily life or decorating, and she writes in such a way that keeps you engaged for every page. There are several pages of color pictures with the occasional black and white picture mixed in, a wonderful addition to help us understand as well as visualize things that the Georgians would have had about them. Amanda Vickery effectively takes us into the world of the Georgians and their homes, and we learn a generous amount of interesting information that will continue to stick with us long after the book is finished. I look forward to reading it again!
