At Home with the Georgians

Amanda explores the lives of spinsters and bachelors, the importance of the home to the success of a marriage, and the role that men played in setting up a home.

Amanda reveals how “taste” became the buzzword of the age and gave women a new outlet for their creativity, raising their status in the home as a consequence.

Against the lawlessness and insecurity of the time, Amanda reveals how the Georgians made their houses safe havens and how they fought to make their homes their castles.
