A propos de cet article

Paperback. Step into the world that created the Christmas we know today. The Victorians did not invent Christmas, but they transformed it. During the nineteenth century, older customs were gathered, reshaped and spread through royal example, Dickensian storytelling, industrial production, railway travel, mass publishing and the growing power of the family home. A Victorian Christmas explores how the festive season became centred upon children, presents, Christmas trees, cards, crackers, elaborate meals, carols, charity and public entertainment. From candlelit royal drawing rooms and crowded toy shops to servants' halls, bustling markets and spectacular pantomime stages, this richly detailed history reveals both the warmth of Victorian Christmas and the labour, commerce and inequality hidden beneath its polished image. Accompanied by a specially created series of black-and-white engravings, the book brings key moments of the Victorian festive world vividly to life, including royal celebrations, Dickensian readings, crowded shops, lively inns and theatrical spectacle. Discover: - How Victoria and Albert helped popularise the family Christmas- Why Dickens changed the emotional meaning of the season- How Christmas cards, crackers and toy shops created new traditions- What Victorians really ate at Christmas- How servants, street sellers and shop workers made the celebration possible- Why pantomimes, ghost stories and charitable appeals became seasonal essentials- How Victorian customs developed into the modern Christmas Lively, accessible and filled with vivid detail, A Victorian Christmas tells the story of how one extraordinary century took an old and varied festival and turned it into the celebration we still recognise today.
