地鐵讀物,學瞭不少冷知識。當然,盡信書則不如無書,畢竟是介紹性質的書,雖然沒有硬傷,但細節未必準確。其他部分不清楚,教育和醫學那兩塊顯然不夠嚴謹。比如19世紀的內科醫生不隻靠背書,關於書本知識和臨床實踐的大辯論經久不息。臨床解剖用的屍體絕不是“來路不明”,相反,從邊沁時代就很明確,來自死刑犯和窮人(所以後來人們擔心這樣會引發“貧窮是罪”的扭麯價值觀)。

For every frustrated reader of the great nineteenth-century English novels of Austen, Trollope, Dickens, or the Brontës who has ever wondered whether a duke outranked an earl, when to yell "Tally Ho!" at a fox hunt, or how one landed in "debtor's prison," here is a "delightful reader's companion that lights up the literary dark" (The New York Times). This fascinating, lively guide clarifies the sometimes bizarre maze of rules, regulations, and customs that governed everyday life in Victorian England. Author Daniel Pool provides countless intriguing details (did you know that the "plums" in Christmas plum pudding were actually raisins?) on the Church of England, sex, Parliament, dinner parties, country house visiting, and a host of other aspects of nineteenth-century English life -- both "upstairs" and "downstairs." An illuminating glossary gives at a glance the meaning and significance of terms ranging from "ague" to "wainscoting," the specifics of the currency system, and a lively host of other details and curiosities of the day.
