Produktbeschreibung

A bright doorway into a gentler, more disciplined era opens with The English Housekeeper. A practical companion for readers who value order, it invites you to see the daily rituals of a Georgian English household as a careful art. This domestic manual offers a clear, accessible guide to managing a household with care and efficiency-from the store-room to the pantry, the larder, the kitchen, the cellar, and the dairy. Written as advice for young ladies who undertake the superintendence of their own housekeeping, it blends concrete instruction with the rhythms of early nineteenth century England, showing how domestic economy manuals shaped daily life. The work stands as a period instructional text that treats organisation, foresight, and attention to detail as virtues, not chores. A touchstone of literary and historical significance, the book illuminates how households were run, who did the work, and the evolving roles within Georgian households. It will appeal to casual readers drawn to classic domestic life, and to collectors who seek authentic, historical voices behind beloved literature. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this edition preserves a vital waypoint in the tradition of domestic management classics, inviting new readers to experience its practical wisdom and charm.
