Great Non-fiction About Victorian Britain (and a little teaser/puzzle)

If you're interested in Christmas in the Victorian period, I'd probably more recommend, , Victorian Christmas by Lucinda Hawksley, , who is an ancestor of Dickens, I think. , and she's also written a book about Dickens and Christmas, which I've read and which is interesting, too.

I learned so much about this, , in terms of the development of, , electricity and science and technology in the 19th century, , and beyond. You know, this is not just about the 19th century, , but I found it a really, really interesting read.

I picked this up like looking for the 19th century section and you can see where all the tabs are in the 19th century section but I then just went on and read the whole book cuz I just found it absolutely fascinating.

and she's also written a book about Dickens and Christmas, which I've read and which is interesting, too.

I really like the format of this book, that it's sort of just like one page per invention. , and it tells you a lot about the development of science in the Victorian period.

This was one of those books where I read it and I was like, this is both very helpful for my current book, but also I feel like this has given me many ideas for future books. so yes, what a great book.

None of the like articles, I guess you call them, are more than like a few pages, which I think makes it really digestible, which especially when some of it is quite grim is very helpful. So, yes, I would highly recommend this very interesting non-fiction book.

this is another, , really interesting book about invention, , and science and engineering during the Victorian period, , talking about some of the strange things that were invented in the Victorian period and some of the ways in which people in the 19th century were kind of, you know, thinking outside the box.

I read this pretty recently and I did talk about it on my channel because I thought it had a very broad appeal but I found this to be a really fascinating, riveting, eye-opening work of non-fiction history.

Really fascinating, really pacey. I think if you are someone who doesn't read a lot of non-fiction, you will still really enjoy this. and it was definitely like one of the first non-fiction books I read when I first read it that I actually loved.

I know I need to read The Victorian Detective. but both of these books are really interesting. Like considering how short they are, they do have quite a lot of tabs.

Yes, The Victorian House, which is really interesting and yeah, I definitely recommend her work.

So, I first read The Victorian Policeman and then I was like, this is not quite what I'm looking for. I know I need to read The Victorian Detective. but both of these books are really interesting.

I haven't read the sort of more than a half of this book, but I found the first half really, really useful for my research and it's a really interesting book looking at the development of the police force in Britain, which is something that I find really interesting.

But, it is a really interesting read and I think especially if you're interested in like popular conception of crime and the history of that, it's very, very interesting.

One of their books I read for research for The Secrets of Hartwood Hall was a book called Victorian And Edwardian Somerset, which is just about Victorian And Edwardian Somerset with lots of photographs. and they're just really great for like really specific research.

It has a lot of really interesting information. I think it's a really interesting book for telling you like how the police force were conceptualized in the Victorian period and what their purpose was seen to be.

It's a fascinating place and he was a really interesting man and I found this biography just yeah, really fascinating and you can tell I've tabbed it a lot.
