Product Information

As with the commander of an army or the leader of any enterprise so it is with the mistress of a house.' A founding text of Victorian middle-class identity Household Management is today one of the great unread classics. Over a thousand pages long and written when its author was only 22 it offered highly authoritative advice on subjects as diverse as fashion child-care animal husbandry poisons and the management of servants. To the modern reader expecting stuffy moralizing and watery vegetables Beeton's book is a revelation: it ranges widely across the foods of Europe and beyond actively embracing new food stuffs and techniques mixing domestic advice with discussions of science religion class industrialism and gender roles. Alternately fashionable and frugal anxious and blusteringly self-confident Household Management highlights the concerns of the ever-expanding Victorian middle-class at a key moment in its history. The abridged edition does justice to its high status as a cookery book while also suggesting ways of approaching this massive hybrid text as a significant document of social and cultural history. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up-to-date bibliographies for further study and much more.
