Can anyone recommend a website that explains all aspect of Edwardian Life?

Question

I have searched and searched and I am pretty good at finding what I need usually, but this subject seems to be eluding me. I think it may be because the Edwardian era is nestled right between the Victorian era and the First World War, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't know about any websites, but if you have time to go to a library, looking for this book might help you:

A History of Private Life
by by Antoine Prost, and Gérard Vincent ... it's in 5 volumes, but you would need volume 4, "From the Fires of Revolution to the Great War"

it's a great book, I can really recommend it (as one cultural anthropologist)

Answer 2

checl out this book from your local library failing that amazon may have a copy for sale.

its called pride of the morning an oxford childhood by phyl surman an the isbn no is 0753196050. this is the authors memories of life in oxford during the edwardian years.

Answer 3

If you haven't seen them already the restored Mitchell & Kenyon films provide an absolutely unique view of Edwardian life of ordinary people in mainly northern England at the beginning of the 20th century.
