Consuming Passions by Judith Flanders
By the close of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution had brought with it not just factories, railways, mines and machines but also brought fashion, travel, leisure and pleasure. This book explores this revolution in science, technology and industry - and how a world of thrilling sensation and unimaginable theatricality was born.

The Spectator 'Judith Flanders' artful arrangement of fascinating facts brings new life to people (mostly female) and places (all domestic) that traditional history ignored.' Literary Review 'Rich and well ordered, this study casts brilliant light!Curious facts tumble from the pages.' The Economist
