English Homes and Housekeeping

<p>The history of homes and the way in which they are run reflects changing social and economic conditions as surely and more fascinatingly than historical documents. First published in 1968 <i>English Homes and Housekeeping </i>traces the revolutionary changes in this sphere over a period of two centuries. The author has drawn on in-numerable sources—from cookery books popular songs and diaries to excerpts from <i>Punch Almanack</i> the cries of 18th century street vendors and Board of Trade statements on rationing.</p><p>The book closes with two sections: <i>Quarrying the Facts</i> and <i>Assembling the Materials</i> which suggests how students can carry out their own pieces of enquiry and project work. </p>
