In this survey of the life of London throughout the eighteenth
century, Professor Rude outlines the main themes in the development
of the metropolis, and deals with every aspect of the greatest
capital city in Europe: the physical growth of the town both as a
capital and as a residential area; economic life and
communications; social classes, social life and the arts; the small
traders, craftsmen wage-earners and the poor; religion and the
churches; government and administration, and the bewildering medley
of controlling and contending bodies; the role of London in the
political and economic life of the nation; the machinery of
political manipulation; the almost continuous opposition to the
Court and government; the outbreaks of social protest from below;
trades unions, strikes, industrial riots and the mob; the emergence
of Radicalism and the phenomenon of Wilkes; the changing pattern of
London during the French Wars and on the brink of the nineteenth
century.
