Summary: Regency England Revealed
Comment: "What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew..." is a trip back in time for those who love the works of Austen, Dickns, the Bronte Sisters, etc. A time of codified behaviors and mores, this examination 19th century England reveals what is often a baffling subject for newcomers, and yet is fun and fascinating for those who love this era in English Literature. It is by no means a treatise, so don't expect an intense, scholarly work. Instead, expect to be entertained as well as enlightened!

Summary: Trivia of everyday life in the early decades of 19th century
Comment: Put simply this is a book for those interested in how people lit their homes , cooked their meals , got from point A to point B etc. , in the days before "modern" technology started . It dwells mainly on the lives of the well-to-do and their priorities . Somewhat annoyingly written and disjointed but the subject matter is fascinating .
