Description:From the inside front dustjacket:“The aim of the book”, writes Doreen Yarwood, “is to trace the development of the English Home from Saxon times to the outbreak of the First World war. The emphasis is on the domestic and social history of life in the home; it is an account, not of architecture, but of the furniture and furnishings, the comforts and austerity, the appliances and the utensils, the modes of living through the ages,”Doreen Yarwood’s purpose, it will be seen, is an ambitious one; nothing less than a description and depiction of the changing settings in which English people have, over the past thousand years, passed the greater part of their lives. … No other book exists in which the enquirer can see at a glance what the mis-en-scène of a typical home was like in the Saxon, Medieval, Tudor, Jacobean, or any other of scores of periods up to the Edwardian one. Not only that, but how the variety of rooms developed from the simple Hall of the early Middle Ages to the decoration and furnishing of a range of specialised apartments at every epoch up to 1914. Photographs and drawings show also, what the furniture, cooking and sanitary facilities, china, silver, heating and lighting arrangement consisted of at each period."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
