If Walls Could Talk: An intimate history of the home [Paperback] Worsley, Lucy
Product Overview
Why did the flushing toilet take two centuries to catch on? Why did Samuel
Pepys never give his mistresses an orgasm? Why did medieval people sleep
sitting up? When were the two 'dirty centuries'? Why did gas lighting cause
Victorian ladies to faint? Why, for centuries, did people fear fruit? All
these questions - and more - are answered in this juicy, truly intimate
history of the home. Through the bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen,
Lucy Worsley explores what people actually did in bed, in the bath, at the
table, and at the stove. From sauce-stirring to breast-feeding, teeth-cleaning
to masturbation, getting dressed to getting married, this book will make you
see your home with new eyes. Read more
