Prize-winning author Professor Amanda Vickery sets her sights on the golden age of homemaking the Georgian era. Through dramatic reconstruction she traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes, arguing that the Georgians' preoccupation with decor helped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society. Characters from all walks of life including gentlewomen in their stately mansions and servants with only a locking box to call their own, are bought to life as Amanda reveals the artefacts, letters and diaries of the age where the modern notion of a 'home' was born.
