This makes me appreciate what we have today. There was a local restaurant, mid priced, that made a wonderful mincemeat pie with a tasty crust and no garbage inside.
My great grandma was born during this era (1882-1892 or thereabouts), so videos covering this era always interest me. Excellent video! Could we get a separate video covering the rules/etiquette for the different classes (as well as the differences for men and women of each class). Thanks!
p.s. For those unaware of the chorus of the political ditty; "Two lovely black eyes. Oh! What a surprise! Only for telling a man he was wrong. Two lovely black eyes." Not exactly all a kindly lot, the Victorians. They couldn't be, and live.
Jane Austen this is not! How, and where, on Earth do you find these extraordinary narratives? Every week I'm astounded by your sources. I deduce this is Sparrow, T (1898) 'Love in the Slums', in Quiver, London, issue 615, or something akin to it? Sparrow was also, apparently, author of 'As one of the Penniless Poor and 'The Fickle Lover'. Yet again, a fascinating and unique history. Bravo!
Before the progressive prison reforms of modern times institutions of correction were designed more for punishment than rehabilitation so little attention was paid to conditions. Unfortunately to those who have already been living in poverty and its squalid, degenerate environment, they provided little deterrent. Eventually it began to become clear there's no benefit to society at large unleashing those who'd served their time in places that were little more than crime colleges, .
It was very interesting to hear the word "Donna" used to refer a girlfriend. I'm a Folksinger, and the word "Doney" is used in many American Folksongs. I've heard that "Doney" is supposedly derived from Spanish or Italian.
Some nice middle class Christian women, must have gone in there to teach the lace making, in order to give the women a lift up in society, you would think.
That poor little girl @0:46 has a cauliflower ear. She's been struck forcefully on her ear, it's damaged the cartilige the way boxers in the ring have when they've been punched in the ear.
Last part of my research though courtships were short engagements were commonly much longer , usually lasted several years . This was especially case for working class couples, as they had to work to save money for marriage. During engagement, couples exchanged gifts . Though gifts varies widely depending on class and status . More often than gifts , however couples wrote to each other letters. As they were sometimes separated for long periods and time during their engagement, because of work and familial obligations , letters were main source of communication. Many relationships as article mentioned developed in large part through written word . Another less common way by finding partner was through matrimonial advertisement published in periodicals , began mostly in working classes communities, but spread to upper classes by 1870s . Jennifer phegley argues that matrimonial advertisements provided new opportunities for lonely singles to find each other and increased women agency in courtship. These ads challenged traditional gender roles of masculinity and femininity as women were upfront about their wants and needs in their search for husbands. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.
As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s love in victorian era love came wrapped in form of letters, which became primary medium of community erasing hierarchical difference between people and connecting them . Lockets , antique, Coins and , portraits , poems , sketches, paintings were exchanged and personified with beauty of one beloved. Victorian Romance from 1832 to 1901 Began in dating in victorian era called courtship was dating period which occurred before marriage. There are interesting article written in 2021 titled ( date like victorian courtship ,and romance in victorian era. By beginning of 19 th century marriage. Many modern ideals surround in love and marriage today have roots in Victoria era . In 19 th century marriage for economic and social purpose were failing out of popularity. Companionate marriage, this ideal shaped way that people met and courted in 19 th century. Because of rise of popularity of companionate marriage, young people had more independence in their choice of partner than previous generation. Many people met through work or social events like picnic .
Many folks would say that today's dating world has gotten worse compared to any other times in history. But in reality, countless of people have always been selfish, careless, and dark through-out history when it came to romance. Only difference now, is that we simply became more hyper-aware of the dark possible outcomes in dating, and became scared.
Well said good man / woman ( mean no disrespect just dk ) . Yes you’re right “there’s nothing new under the sun” all that’s change is how aware we are of the 💩
I don't see how young women survived in such an awful environment surrounded by wretched people and losers. Too bad birth control had not been cheap, safe and available.🌿

Well, all I have to say is people Are people wherever you go. The well-off and the rich in Victorian times as now may try their best to hide their imperfection. However, we know now same as we knew then that the rich are no more moral than the poor. In fact they are almost always less moral.

Lady's and gents there's slums and poverty on both sides of the pond maybe not like 19 th century filth and squalor but you still have pretty similar attitudes about the poor homeless disabled ect from the upper crusters and 1% ..just the " guilded age" is now the Botox age and punishment for pauperism..is basically replaced by beaucracy bs ... and the rich get richer and more apathetic and out of touch while the poor man does all the work 😢...alot has changed yet not changed or been set back 50 years plus..dear God help us all
So back where we were again? We rent our own home, but every month I have to decide which bills I pay, and which I don't, and thousands un debt, which means next time we need a rent, we might be turned down, cos we have to declare everything and are credit checked. I work for the NHS, have 5 boys at home, my husband cannot get a job as he is not british born ( yes, he has been told that) and only has right to remain in the UK. Welcome back to 1824!
