At Home With The Georgians – DVD – 12

A fascinating three part series, based on the book, Behind Closed Doors. As seen on the BBC. In At Home With The Georgians, Amanda Vickery, prize-winning author and professor of modern British history at Royal Holloway, sets her sights on the Georgian era – the golden age of homemaking – as she 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.
