Yoriko Imata - Böcker

The nineteenth century saw a dramatic increase in the number of manuals of cookery and household management published in Britain, with such books becoming a significant part of the publishing industry, the mainstay of many an entrepreneurial publisher’s list. The most famous is Beeton’s Book of Household Management (1861), but many other such manuals appeared in this century, particularly in the period from the 1840s to the 1880s. This facsimile collection of six household and cookery manuals published in mid-Victorian Britain, will be an extremely valuable source for those studying Victorian life and the culture and history of women.
