Adele Emm asks how did the Candle Tax (1709-1831) and the introduction of gas and electric lighting affect our ancestors’ home lives?
As Adele points out, lighting and fuel have always been an important element in a family budget. For Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters, candle use in their novels was shorthand for social class and a family’s wealth.
