Mrs Beeton's All About Cookery 1923 New Edition

Product Information

Despite the criticism, Clausen observes that "'Mrs. Beeton' has... been for over a century the standard English cookbook, frequently outselling every other book but the Bible". [74] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term Mrs Beeton became used as a generic name for "an authority on cooking and domestic subjects" as early as 1891, [102] [103] and Beetham opines that "'Mrs. Beeton' became a trade mark, a brand name". [43] In a review by Gavin Koh published in a 2009 issue of The BMJ, Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management was labelled a medical classic. In Beeton's "attempt to educate the average reader about common medical complaints and their management", Koh argues, "she preceded the family health guides of today". [104] Robin Wensley, a professor of strategic management, believes that Beeton's advice and guidance on household management can also be applied to business management, and her lessons on the subject have stood the test of time better than some of her advice on cooking or etiquette. [105] Around 1854 Isabella Mayson began a relationship with Samuel Orchart Beeton. His family had lived in Milk Street at the same time as the Maysons—Samuel's father still ran the Dolphin Tavern there—and Samuel's sisters had also attended the same Heidelberg school as Isabella. [17] [18] Samuel was the first British publisher of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852 and had also released two innovative and pioneering journals: The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine in 1852 and the Boys' Own magazine in 1855. [19] [20] The couple entered into extensive correspondence in 1855—in which Isabella signed her letters as "Fatty"—and they announced their engagement in June 1855. [21] The marriage took place at St Martin's Church, Epsom, in July the following year, and was announced in The Times. [22] Samuel was "a discreet but firm believer in the equality of women" [23] and their relationship, both personal and professional, was an equal partnership. [9] The couple went to Paris for a three-week honeymoon, after which Samuel's mother joined them in a visit to Heidelberg. They returned to Britain in August, when the newlyweds moved into 2Chandos Villas, a large Italianate house in Pinner. [24] [25] Samuel Orchart Beeton in 1860

His father, unhappy with the implication—condoms tended to only be used by prostitutes' clients—sent his son away for an apprenticeship with the merchant navy. [10] [11] Beetham, Margaret (2004).
