Question
Do you know any good books about daily life during the Victorian Era? Or even pre victorian era britain? I'm writing a paper and I'm having trouble finding material.

Answer
Hello Lynn,

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer your question -- I was without a computer for a week.

Go to a local library and ask for help with this subject.  The Reference Librarian is the perfect resource.  If that person cannot help you, write back and I will give you some specific titles.  I must tell you that I am not near any of my sources as it is the 4th of July.  I'll be back on Monday.

Sincerely,

Joseph Logue

Expertise

I am knowledgeable about English history from about 1400 to 1688, and then from the reign of Victoria (after 1837). I have a particular interest in the monarchy and dynastic relations of Europe from 1800 onwards. I cannot answer questions regarding the latter Stuarts, the early Hanovers, and the politics of the 18th century.
