Who knows enough about shopping in Victorian England ? Not me !
This book is actually an easy read about the social impacts of shopping in Victorian England - how did they do it ? What kind of shops were there ? Who owned them ? Worked in them ? Who went to which kind of shop ? (or, shoppe ?). Is this a pre-cursor to the modern American habit of "shopping as entertainment" - a time when shopping occupied an important part of people's (i.e., women's) daily lives ?
Anyway, highly readable and entertaining.
Available on Amazon, B&N, etc.
