9780897331470: London Life in the Eighteenth Century

Synopsis

From the diseaseinfected rookeries and teeming viceridden streets to the sweatshops, coffee houses and spacious parks, George's recreation of a capital city in a dirty, brutal--but also elegant--age has never been surpassed. Both a social history and an impeccably documented reference work, her book chronicles the change in social attitudes between 1700 and 1800, which left London cleaner, healthier and more ordered.
