I've read one novel where the Victorian sewer system featured notably and found a mystery involving it a few weeks ago which is now on my TBR. I think it's a worthy subject of study myself. :-)
Today's book discovery at the library bookstore: _Eminent Victorian Women_ by Elizabeth Longford. It looks fascinating.
And I am slowly reading _Inside the Victorian Home_ by Judith Flanders, which is extremely enlightening, especially as it explains behaviours in 19th AND 20th century British books that never previously made any sense to me. It's also a bit chilling: women really did have to live that way.
And, no, the Victorian period is not one I'm trying to read up in -- it just keeps impinging on me.
