Praise for Behind Closed Doors
“Vickery is that rarity among historians: A skillful and elegant writer. Vickery retains a noticeable Lancashire accent as well as an unselfconscious directness that makes her a powerful and engaging communicator, as effective on the screen as on the page.” – History Today
“Amanda Vickery is a naughty, clever, humourous eavesdropper on the past… She has the Georgians in her sights like no one since Jane Austen.” – Sunday Telegraph
