The nineteenth century was a time of unprecedented transformation,
and nowhere was this more apparent than on the streets of London.
In only a few decades, London grew from a Regency town to the
biggest city the world had ever seen, with more than 6.5 million
people and railways, street-lighting and new buildings at every
turn. Charles Dickens obsessively walked London's streets,
recording its pleasures, curiosities and cruelties. Now, Judith
Flanders follows in his footsteps, leading us through the markets,
transport systems, sewers, slums, cemeteries, gin palaces and
entertainment emporia of Dickens' London. The Victorian City is a
revelatory portrait of everyday life on the streets, bringing to
life the Victorian capital in all its variety, vibrancy, and
squalor. No one who reads it will view London in the same light
again.
