AT HOME WITH THE GEORGIANS – BASED ON THE BOOK ‘BEHIND CLOSED DOORS’ – THREE DISK SET (2011) – DVD

Through dramatic reconstruction Amanda Vickery traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes, arguing that the Georgians’ preoccupation with décor helped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society.
