Thank you also for a lovely response....Hi Phoebe, <br /><br />Thank you also for a lovely response. <br /><br />I also did look over Beeton's text and noted that there was little reference to alcohol. I do believe that this is because the text was targeted at women and managing their households in what Beeton perceived as the right and respectful way. The consumption of alcohol was not seen as respectful and I do believe this is as a result of social pressures that Beeton chose to omit drinking culture from the narrative at large. I wish I had enough words to include a section on this also!! <br />Sarah Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835214987355643740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-85032806532647186762016-03-17T08:43:11.003-07:002016-03-17T08:43:11.003-07:00Hi Alastair,
Thanks for such a lovely response. ...Hi Alastair, <br /><br />Thanks for such a lovely response. <br />In my research, my understanding was that there was a growing understanding on the type of wine that people were beginning to drink. A port compared to sherry for example; sherry was the choice of drink of many middle class women and was a typical drink had at dinner parties over desserts. Port on the other hand was drunk by middle class men. The representation of the middle class is that they have no differentiation between which wine is which, the simple fact that they're drinking it is all that mattered. <br />Sarah Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835214987355643740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-50506657865140009172016-03-17T04:44:22.183-07:002016-03-17T04:44:22.183-07:00Hello Sarah,

Particularly the idea that the consumption of drinking alcohol by females was linked to the idea of the fallen woman!<br /><br />Your post encouraged me to look back over Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management. I was amazed to find very little information on the consumption of alcohol - except within desserts. Do you think this is a result of the social expectations you discussed?<br /><br />PhoebeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823369060268669842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-59993855588449577092016-03-15T13:52:35.877-07:002016-03-15T13:52:35.877-07:00Hi Sarah,

I particularly liked your points about perspective -- that the taboo around women and drink was very much about public appearances, and that alcohol created a whole new set of social codes. I also found your point that drink, particularly wine, operated as a social indicator, dividing the classes, enlightening. I wonder what influence the increased availability of wine to the working classes had upon upper- and middle-class drinking habits?<br />AlastairAlastair Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832908415304327156noreply@blogger.com
