domestic revolution: how the introduction of coal into our
homes changed everything"--Title page verso.

index.
520 ""The queen of living history" (Lucy Worsley) returns with
an immersive account of how English women sparked a
worldwide revolution-from their own kitchens. 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.
