'As with the commander of an army, or the leader of any enterprise, so it is with the mistress of a house.' A founding text of Victorian middle-class identity, Household Management is today one of the great unread classics. Over a thousand pages long, and written when its author was only 22, it offered highly authoritative advice on subjects as diverse as fashion, child-care, animal husbandry, poisons, and the management of servants. To the modern reader expecting stuffy moralizing and watery vegetables, Beeton's book is a revelation: it ranges widely across the foods of Europe and beyond, actively embracing new food stuffs and techniques, mixing domestic advice with discussions of science, religion, class, industrialism and gender roles. Alternately fashionable and frugal, anxious and blusteringly self-confident, Household Management highlights the concerns of the ever-expanding Victorian middle-class at a key moment in its history. The abridged edition does justice to its high status as a cookery book, while also suggesting ways of approaching this massive, hybrid text as a significant document of social and cultural history. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

沒有亮點,但非常重要。Beeton描述的是一切Victorian domestic fantasy的另一麵——你不可能在一本維多利亞小說裏看到餐桌布置參考圖;但它自身也變成瞭這種fantasy的一部分,風格多樣範圍甚廣的recipe既討好又反射齣定位模糊的中産階級主婦們關於食的睏惑。你做齣來的東西可能和食譜上的不同,一樣的道理,你的中産生活可能和小說中的不同。
評分作為瞭解當時的一些背景挺不錯的, 對僕人係統地描述很詳細... 菜譜的話就那樣瞭, 沒什麼有意思的...
