Organized for easy reference, the volume provides information about the physical, social, economic, and legal details of daily life in Victorian England, with a special focus on groups often invisible in traditional history: children, women both at work and at home, and people who led respectable, ordinary lives.

Excerpts from primary sources and over sixty illustrations enrich the work, providing a treasure trove of information for classroom and library use and for those interested in the fascinating era of Queen Victoria.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. (299)-301) and index.
