best of British, July 2006
"an in-depth street-level view of the capital's past"
Synopsis
A fascinating, evocative account of 19th-century London, so well known from Charles Dickens' much-loved novels. This book draws on descriptions of life in the capital from original letters, diaries and newspapers as well as Dickens' own social commentary to paint a vivid portrait of a city undergoing massive social changes. A unique gazetteer section with a modern-day map allows the reader to discover where places and attractions mentioned in the text can be seen in today's London.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely gripping if you love life-like history
Surprised by the lack of reviews.
I just happened to start reading this book while at a friends house.
Too intricate and interesting to describe, i was overwhelmed. Please read this book, even if it is the only one you will buy about London (in the 19th century!)
