Beeton’s, Mrs. Book of Household Management:
How often have we encountered Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management when researching the Victorian era? Sophie Dahl wrote and presented this BBC2 documentary about the publishing phenomenon that was Isabella Mary Mayson, who wrote as Mrs. Beeton after her marriage to Samuel Beeton. Even better for researchers, her book is very accessible on the web for anyone needing to research a recipe for jugged hare.
