What were some forms of entertainment during England's Edwardian Period?
Q. I need to write a report on it and critic some of the fine arts such as music, art, such things like that. Do not suggest any sports please.

A. Everyone enjoyed music and dancing. Every household that could afford it had a piano, and the daughters of the family would learn to play and sing, to entertain themselves and any company. Dances were looked forward to, they gave opportunities for young people to socialise. Young women had dance programmes, and young men would queue up to writ etheir names in the programmes. Going to the theatre was popular, as were concerts, and the working classs enjoyed the Music hall, which would present a variety of different turns, singers, dancers, comedins, acrobats, conjurors, jugglers etc. In the early 1900s moving pictures were becoming popular, they were regarded as an amusing novelty. Games like tennis, archery, and croquet were popular… [cont.]

A. The 1920s were known as The Roaring Twenties, because booze was illegal in America at the time and everybody got a thrill going to illegal booze cans called speak-easies to drink and party. Booze became illegal because while the men were off fighting in WWI, women voted to outlaw booze, hopin their men would stay home more and give them something more often.

How to prevent creaks & noises etc. in a period house upstairs bedroom ( read on ) ?
Q. i have an upstairs bedroom in a victorian/edwardian period house. i have carpet right now but i want wooden flooring or some sort of hard flooring(the white kind?). but i am not allowed because wooden floor will multiply the sounds of creeking. is there a solution to my wish? :P thanks
Asked by Livinx - Mon Aug 25 07:31:46 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Livinx, The creaking is caused by the subflooring. It has pulled away from the floor joists in some places, probably because the nails have pulled away slightly. The sounds can be from several types of motion but the squeak is the wood pusing up and down slightly on the nails. I say all this because if you want to install hard wood flooring, this provides the opportunity to re-secure your entire flooring throughout the room, since you'll be putting down new material. I would even remove the old material (whatever it may be) down to the sub-floor. The subflooring should be re-secured using good graded wood screws. They will resist pulling away like nails, especially in older homes. I would NOT put down hardwood flooring over… [cont.]

A. Women writers were only really accepted in the 20th Century when authors such as Vera Brittain, Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell started writing. All three were part of the Bloomsbury set, a somewhat revolutionary, avant guarde group of people at the time. Woolf alone is accredited as the foremost modernist/feminist literature writer. Prior to such women, it was very difficult for women authors to both maintain their respectability and also to be taken seriously. They do appear throughout history and are still significant authors to this day, including the Bronte sisters born between 1816 and 1820, Jane Austen a generation earlier in 1775.

A. rolls are a fairly new method of selling paper. up until the newspaper industry started using rolls in the late 1800's, paper was sold in sheets as machines had not yet been used to print more than a single page ata time. once the newspaper era started mass production in the larger cities, the machinery was designed which allowed the use of huge rolls of paper to feed through the machine during the printing process. such printing is still done today, though the equipment is much faster and more compact.

A. Daisybrown, since no one's come up with a title for the book you're looking for and your question's about to expire I would suggest that you try the following website: It's a good book search site. You give them all the info you have on the book you're looking for, like character's names, plot details, etc., and they'll do their best to find the title for you. It's free to use but you have to register with an email address.
