This guide clarifies the sometimes bizarre maze of rules, regulations and customs that governed everyday life in Victorian England. It provides details on the Church of England, sex, Parliament, dinner parties, country house visiting, and a host of other aspects of 19th-century English life - both upstairs and downstairs. A glossary gives the meaning and significance of terms ranging from "aigue" to "wainscotting", the specifics of the currency system and many other details and curiosities of the day.
