![]() ![]() The 19th century, as she says, "was the century of urbanization." Whereas in 1801 "only 20 percent of the population of Great Britain lived in cities," a century later "that figure had risen to nearly 80 percent." With a population of about a million in 1800, London was the largest city in the world, and at century's end that figure had multiplied five times. Her attention is focused on city life, London in particular what she shows us is a world in which dirt, vermin and disease were nearly inescapable, and in which the labor of maintaining even the best-managed households was endless, exhausting and often dangerous. But in many respects the picture she draws - and she draws it with obsessive attention to detail - is a useful corrective to over-romanticizing. ![]() Judith Flanders acknowledges as much at the end of her exhaustive study of domestic life in Victorian England. It is easy, and tempting, to take a romantic view of the Victorian Age, to wax sentimental about its high moral standards, its extraordinary literature, its great strides in industrial production and domestic conveniences and, of course, the good queen from whom it takes its name. ![]() ![]() ![]() The strong bond between Mary and Elizabeth sees them through struggles with poverty, rivalry and ostracism, as well as the physical dangers of their chosen obsession. ![]() In danger of being an outcast in her community, she takes solace in an unlikely friendship with Elizabeth Philpot, a prickly London spinster with her own passion for fossils.

With its long snout and prominent teeth, it might be a crocodile – except that it has a huge, bulbous eye. In 1810, a sister and brother uncover the fossilized skull of an unknown animal in the cliffs on the south coast of England. ![]() ![]() Jefferson represented a more soothing point of view: an America of small towns and traditional agriculture. This was a frightening and sinister vision to a lot of Americans at the time. He envisioned a country built on banks, corporations, stock exchanges and factories. On the other hand, Hamilton had a very modern take on our economic future. And if history is written by the victors, the victor during this era was the Democratic Party. Hamilton’s Federalist Party had disappeared by the start of the 19th century. What do you notice about that list? Those were the men who were solidly in charge of American politics for many decades after Hamilton’s death. Hamilton’s main political enemies were John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe-and I’ll even throw in John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson for good measure. A: I think the fact that he was killed in that duel has something to do with the lack of appreciation it robbed him of the opportunity in later years to write his own defense, or his own history of the events of the early republic. ![]() ![]() So when one of her friends suggests she hook up with Daniel Fitzgerald, a charming, handsome teacher by day, and artist by night, she agrees, thinking maybe this is just what she needs.īut letting go of the past is a lot harder than she anticipated. ![]() It doesn't seem to get easier, even though everyone has been telling her that it will and all she needs is to start dating again.
