Trade Review

The author draws on the evidence provided by several northern newspapers, together with charitable and institutional reports to discuss a variety of aspects: print iconography, family and childhood, work, leisure, philanthropy, entertainments, and shopping.

'Researching both contemporary and critical accounts of the festive season during these decades, he [Armstrong] subtly tweaks some of our common ideas about it and covers a wide area of popular culture in the process.'
Jacqueline Banerjee, Cercles and The Victorian Web
