A Victorian lady in the modern world. I write both fiction and non-fiction, and I believe reading real books makes the world a better place. I love books, cats, roses, and primary-source historical research. Be sure to find my books on Amazon - and remember to tell your friends about them! Happy reading! :)

How can I find a list of where you will be doing a talk next?
We keep our upcoming events posted here: www.thisvictorianlife.com/upcoming-events.html The next couple are seasonal programs in Lamoni, Iowa: October's program (one week before Hallowe'en) is about the true history of vampires and werewolves, while November's (one week before Thanksgiving) is about the history of the turkey. If you'd like us to come to your community, try asking your local museum, historical society, or other community group to sponsor a presentation / author event. :) The details of arranging a program in your community are here: www.thisvictorianlife.com/presentations--programs.html : this page includes descriptions of some of our set programs, and we're always happy to cater a program to fit a group's particular needs. Hope to see you in your neighborhood soon! :)
@@Victorianlady Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this episode.
Dear Madam, Being a lady much like yourself, I wondered if you could recommend a good seven or eight piece corset pattern for a young lady in my aqaintance who is in desperate need of that garment. Could you please make a presentation about your suppliers of materials, your favourite patterns, &c. also, if there is any place at all that you know of where 15- inch metal lacing busks are sold, I should be most appreciative. Thank-you in advance.
Are your sources mainly American, English, or other? I know the US Patent Office has a searchable database, for instance, and there must be bicycling magazines on both sides of the pond that have discussed the history of the bike, but I'd like to know if Mr. Chrisman is presenting Gilded Age America or Victorian Britain in this video.
i love collecting books, I collect antique African American books, I am blown away from the information, I love them
i don't know who this woman is but i would die for her. thank you ma'am very informative
One of the factors that gave rise to the movement in the US was the collective trauma of the Civil War. (but I suspect you know this already). The whole obsession of the era with death is fascinating.
Your discussion of papers and books prompts me to ask if you are familiar with the life of Isabella Beeton , author of 'Beeton's Book of Household Management', whose husband (and business partner) was a publisher and whose legacy far exceeded her very short life.
Actually, I wrote the introduction to an abridgement of that book which came out a few years ago, at the publisher's request. www.amazon.com/Mrs-Beetons-Book-Household-Management/dp/1510760253/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1P65VY8YVFFA5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R5APDEmpI-qcp21ChqLpt8V207VmeMdyPaakEMAKQkBaF6oTgwim0SuNt0sYB_wh.M7z-RSlEYlC0cB9wgYiP85GeOzRmAE2zt2g-mJkIDSI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Sarah+Chrisman+Mrs.+Beeton%27s+book+of+household+management&qid=1723119914&sprefix=sarah+chrisman+mrs.+beeton%27s+book+of+household+management%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1
the outfit looks like mrs wicket's and cat
Wow , what a kool design. Looks quite contemporary, maybe in carbon fibre! Shame you didn’t give more information. ..how it rides, comfort, handling. ..how the frame works, seems to have tension cables. I guess the rolling resistance of those solid tyres, on smooth asphalt is excellent.
I love queen victoria is from 1800 plus i love you
Oh, please, can you show me how to maintain a kerosene lamp and how to change the wick? Greetings from Germany.
Quite an amazing vehicle and looks like fun to ride..
So excited to see a video!
Best video on chatelaines I’ve seen!
Thank you for sharing enjoyed it.
Great video series, Sarah!
You really Beautiful i admire you
I would love to watch the full video sometime.
I love cats
I'm loving this. Do I sense a possible book on "How we restored a Victorian house"? ❤
I've already written one of those: www.amazon.com/This-Victorian-Life-Adventures-Nineteenth-Century/dp/1510770801/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZXV8MCTTA44O&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MsK5e243GxBhC37CieoiuKsJ7mUfSLLvmRNV0FYVWIHDvV4QvEbg05OLltVTJLTVj8C9byU0F3ZBTd1Ryv8DXzi7Gj02hwW7gbx4TMOb8lAvxr7oBZmYAhEqW035tE9760XsO3EmgenZyv3TSGSN9BVmIE7WsnoTRbscRqFyyOt7c1iIznazyLB8rBxCZ2OIqSBDFP_-snkOTSWTeks3fIgc7prl1txko3YtpOAUn3U.jD_8VMo2heGGFD-MI6LJFu4dEkNPDy6-QtdsmdehzTQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=This+Victorian+Life&qid=1721564870&sprefix=this+victorian+life%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-1
FANTASTIC talk, Sarah! I watched all 4 episodes. You've given the "why" behind the practice of manicured, "perfect" lawns. I think that goes a long way to shifting a person's perspective. Just because we've always done something a certain way, doesn't mean we have to continue to (including cutting the ham before putting it in the pan). I'm happy to have crabgrass and clover and dandelion and other beneficial "weeds" in my yard.
Fantastic video!
I'm obsessed with the history of American domestic gardening and I've really enjoyed this.
Thanks for the history of the lawn, fascinating.
Interesting video. Incidentally they still occasionally find wood waterlines in Detroit when they’re doing repairs!
we have many specimens here in my area too. The German settlers here built them to last
Growing up, we only owned a manual reel mower, with oak handle. My father sharpened it. If you hit a little stick, it would suddenly stop. Lots of exercise. All my neighbors had power mowers. 1954-1980 : marriage year, Father's early death year, age 54.
I have one of these mowers too and hitting a stick is the most annoying thing ever, especially when you have lots of trees in your yard. I stopped using it because of that.
Very fascinating! My yard is very unruly in town and wish I could have a couple of sheep loaned to me.
You really enjoy painting and personalizing your rooms. Love having the couch in the middle of the room. My cat Tort, age 9, says hello to your cats. Lovely progress on your home, delightful.
You have a great smile! What a neat video!
Thank you! I had a thought for a future video... I'm currently reading Rudyard Kiplings The Phantom Rickshaw. I'm enjoying it, though I've come across so many terms and phrases from the era that unfamiliar. Some of which I can't find any information about on google. Perhaps for Halloween time 👻
I did a video on Victorian slang about three years ago. Enjoy! :) ruclips.net/video/V8whrpnpozE/видео.html
Love the Hand painting on the walls.👏👏
Interesting talk, thank you for sharing.
I met you once in Seattle. I think at a talk at MOHAI or ??? Good to find you again.
Thank you❤
I love the simplicity and lifestyle of the Victorian era but I’m also very tech centered given I’m an animator lol. I would like to dive more into it though.
It's simple to use now because of the lack of modern tech that we have, but it was probably anything but simple to the people who lived during the era.
same here. Start where you are - add small things. subtract small things. Your home life and work life can be separate spaces. At least that's my approach (I am in digital marketing)
Another interesting and informative video from our favorite victorian! I always look forward to them!
Ive missed your videos Sarah!❤
Very interesting talk, thank you so much 😊
Amazing books and love the wallpaper and painting. I also like the dual lamps.
There's no wallpaper: that's all hand painted, by me. It was a lot of work…
I remember my mom used to have one of the bowls with the pitcher. Lovely video
Beautiful. Please be careful with possible derecho going through eastern Iowa later
Beautiful! I realy love all the painintgs on the walls and the roof!
My wife and I also try to experience the Victorian era. You are an inspiration to us. The hard part is getting the clothes, but soon we want to be like you.
What is the music from the intro?
I hope we will see some glimpses of your adventure and speech at Concordia, the photos are really beautiful ! We miss you overhere :)
I know this video is much older, I am inspired by older times in history and I admire your videos. I have to ask… do you wear makeup at all? What is your routine like for your skin? I was wondering if you followed more of a Victorian inspiration for that as well. I’d love to learn more.
Thank you for putting this up. Delightful piece of machinery there and very well presented by you.
In 2002, I feel flat on my face in love with Michael Chabon's novel "Wonder Boys" and read with a pen in hand as I marked up so many wonderful passages and words I didn't know the meanings of. This is how I have been reading the more prestigious titles since then. It's very rewarding, though it occasionally merits infinitely lighter titles.
I just happened onto your channel. Very enjoyable!
