Focusing on the everyday behaviour of people in the late-Victorian
street, this volume provides an alternative history of the modern
city and sheds new light on the relationship between police
constables and civilians. Using a theoretical framework from the
sociological school of symbolic interactionism, the author explores
human behaviour as a 'performance' or 'presentation of the self'
and demonstrates that it is often dependent on situational rather
than socioeconomic status. A wealth of source material, such as
trial reports, internal documents from the London police forces and
autobiographical material from the poorer classes is scrutinised to
explore public interaction in the capital. And, by examining
neighbourhood relations, public house fraternising, pedestrian
behaviour and public self-presentation, Peter Andersson provides a
vivid picture of the urban dweller at the centre of this urban
history.
