A large proportion of London's population lived in lodgings during
the long 18th century, many of whom recorded their experiences. In
this fascinating study, Gillian Williamson examines these
experiences, recorded in correspondences and autobiographies, to
offer unseen insights into the social lives of Londoners in this
period, and the practice of lodging in Georgian London. Williamson
draws from an impressive array of sources, archives, newspapers,
OBSP trials and literary representations to offer a thorough
examination of lodging in London, to show how lodging and lodging
houses sustained the economy of London during this time. Williamson
offers a fascinating insight into the role lodging houses played as
the facilitators of encounters and interactions, which offers an
illuminating depiction of social relations beyond the family. The
result is an important contribution to current historiography, of
interest to historians of Britain in the long 18th century.
