In At Home with the Georgians Amanda Vickery prize-winning author and professor of modern British history at Royal Holloway sets her sights on the Georgian era - the golden age of homemaking - as she traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes arguing that the Georgians' preoccupation with dcor helped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society. We are all familiar with the splendours of Georgian architecture but we know less of what went on At Home with the Georgians in the 18th century.
In a new three-part series Amanda Vickery will bring the Georgian home back to life and open a fascinating window on the soul of an age. Using artefacts letters criminal trial records and diaries Amanda will make viewers look afresh at a world we thought we were familiar with through costume dramas but which only now offers up its secrets. She will shed light on the full spectrum of Georgian society from the richest to the poorest to the intriguing world of the "middling" classes. Using dramatic reconstruction to breathe life into the personal stories of these characters viewers will gain access to the dreams hopes and fears of the Georgians. Amanda will provide a compelling account of their attitudes to love and sex as well as the burning issues of the day such as privacy consumption and security.
