The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

Product Information

Income of the working class people could hardly manage them a square meal. The Colemans who were associated with the upper middle class made a whopping 750-1500 annually whereas the annual pay for a working class cook was around 30. A maids income was even worse with a mere 16-22 annually. Thus there was the huge difference in the financial standing of Edwardian working class and the middle-class people in this decade.

King Edward was a king with modern perspective, very social contrary to Queen Victoria; he did initiate many changes in the stringent British society. There were many economic and social changed occurring in the last part of Victorian Age which created immense social mobility. Due to the influence of growing socialist ideas, problems of workers were given much importance to.

After 1805 the dominance of Britain's Royal Navy was unchallenged; in the 1890s Germany decided to match it. Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz (1849 – 1930) dominated German naval policy from 1897 until 1916. [46] Before the German Empire formed in 1871, Prussia never had a real navy, nor did the other German states. Tirpitz turned the modest little fleet into a world-class force that could threaten the British Royal Navy. The British responded with new technology typified by the Dreadnought revolution. It made every battleship obsolete and, supplemented by the global network of coaling stations and telegraph cables, enabled Britain to stay well in the lead in naval affairs.

The first decade of the 20th century saw England divided by strict lines of upper, middle and working classes. The Edwardian period has been named after King Edward VII who succeeded Queen Victoria in the year 1901. With the accession of King Edward on the throne, the glorious Victorian age of England came to a sharp end. Victorian age was a period of immense conservatism and mostly gender biases. In rural areas, the national headquarters made highly effective use of paid travelling lecturers, with pamphlets, posters, and especially lantern slides, who were able to communicate effectively with rural voters – particularly the newly enfranchised agricultural workers. [11] In the first years of the twentieth century, the Conservative government, with Arthur Balfour as Prime Minister, had numerous successes in foreign policy, defence, and education, as well as solutions for the issues of alcohol licensing and land ownership for the tenant farmers of Ireland.

Live performances, both amateur and professional, were popular. Henry Wood, Edward Elgar, Gustav Holst, Arnold Bax, George Butterworth, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Thomas Beecham were all active. Military and brass bands often played outside in parks during the summer. [92] The new technology of wax cylinders and gramophone records played on phonographs and talking machines, made live performances permanently available for repetition at any time.

By the late-1880s, the Industrial Revolution had created new technologies that changed the way people lived. The growth of industry shifts in manufacturing factories, special-purpose machinery and technological innovations, which led to increased productivity. Gender roles shifted as women made use of the new technology to upgrade their lifestyle and their career opportunities.Roger Ottewill, "'Skilful and Industrious': Women and Congregationalism in Edwardian Hampshire 1901–1914."
