No single invention epitomizes the Victorian era more than the black cast-iron range. Aware that the twenty-first-century has reduced it to a quaint relic, Ruth Goodman was determined to prove that the hot coal stove provided so much more than morning tea : it might even have kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Wielding the wit and passion seen in How to Be a Victorian, Goodman traces the tectonic shift from wood to coal in the mid-sixteenth century-from sooty trials and errors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the totally smog-clouded reign of Queen Victoria. A pattern of innovation emerges as the women stoking these fires also stoked new global industries : from better soap to clean smudges to new ingredients for cooking. Laced with uproarious anecdotes of Goodman's own experience managing a coal-fired household, this fascinating book shines a hot light on the power of domestic necessity"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Home economics|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Stoves, Coal|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Social change|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Cooking, British|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 Great Britain|xSocial life and customs|y19th century.
