520	1		_a"Isabella Beeton was not quite the familiar matronly figure that has kept her name resonating over the past 150 years. She was actually only twenty-one when she sat down to write The Book of Household Management, with just six months experience of running her own home behind her. Instead of presiding over a well-run town house or country manor, Isabella and her charismatic husband Sam lived in a suburban semi with a single maid-of-all-work. Crucial new material unearthed by Kathryn Hughes shows a woman struggling with every kind of trauma: bankruptcy, sexual scandal and a bitter family feud that lasted over a century." "In this biography, Kathryn Hughes shines a light into the chasm that lay between Mrs. Beeton's private and public life, and explores just how a young woman who died at the age of twenty-eight managed to become one of the most powerful cultural icons of all time."--BOOK JACKET.
