Answer 1

Try the following books:

"Enquire Upon Everything 1890" A comprehensive guide to the necessities of domestic life in Victorian Britain:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Enquire-Within-U...

"The Victorians" by A. N. Wilson

"The Victorians; An Eyewitness" by Ann Kramer (editor)

It depends on what you want to know about the Victorian era; which I might add lasted for more than 60 years and during which the World and Britain went throught some enormous changes.

Here is another possibly useful link;

Also highly recommended is Charles Dickens "The Pickwick Papers", which was written in the Victorian era and is a great book about a gentleman's club called The Pickwick Club; I think it would give you a fantastic insight into the mind and time of the Victorian Gentleman.

Best of luck in your studies of a great time and subject.
