Title: Immensely interesting!
Product review: I enjoyed this book so much that I look forward to reading more of Porter's books.Some readers may find it necessary to keep a dictionary close by, but don't let this put you off if you are interested in the social history of England in the 18th century.The author manages to balance dry statistics with extremely interesting facts, all written in a reader-friendly manner. Chapter headings such as "Power, Politics and the Law" and "Having and Enjoying" give you an idea of the wide scope of the book.The reader will find more enjoyment in reading 18th century works (novels, biography and non-fiction) after being educated by this book.I oftentimes read, then sell my books. This is one I will not sell. I only wish I had it in hardcover.If "What Jane Austen Knew and Charles Dickens Ate" (sic) left you crying for some serious information about this age, I recommend this book!
