    How To Be a Victorian Servant

    From never-ending list of tasks and duties to possibly being mistreated, domestic service in the Victorian era sounds like absolute hell. And yet, for many women, it was a dream job. Today we’re reading “Instructions in household matters: or, The young girl's guide to domestic service” from 1845, which details how to best prepare for that sort of work.  Also, welcome to season 3 of Textory The Podcast!

    The Private (?) Life of Marie Antoinette

    There is so much myth and speculation around who Marie Antoinette was as a person, that it’s really helpful to have historical texts from the era – like today’s “Memoirs of Madame Campan” - of people that really knew her.
