Hark! hark! the dogs bark,The beggars are coming to town;Some in rags and some in tags,And some in a silken gown.Some gave them white bread,And some gave them brown,And some gave them a good horse-whip,And sent them out of the town.Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,Eating a Christmas pie;He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum,And said, oh! what a good boy am I.

In this work, the author unlocks the homes of Georgian England to examine the lives of the people who lived there. She introduces us to men and women from all walks of life: gentlewoman Anne Dormer in her Oxfordshire mansion, bachelor clerk and future novelist Anthony Trollope in his London lodgings, spinsters in two rooms with yellow wallpaper, servants with only a locking box to call their own. The author makes use of upholsterer's ledgers, burglary trials, and other sources to reveal the roles of house and home in economic survival, social success, and political representation during the eighteenth century.
