In his company, the author leads us through the markets, sewers, rivers, slums, cemeteries, gin palaces and chop-houses of the Victorian capital, revealing the city in all its variety, vibrancy, and squalor. From the cacophonous cries of street-sellers to the uncomfortable reality of travel by omnibus, from the many uses of a dead horse to the unimaginably grueling working lives of hawker children, no detail is too small, or too strange. No one who reads this book will view London in the same light again. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $x Homes and haunts $z London. $z London. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $x London (England) $x London (England) 941 $a 3 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020158.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103042255.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20130503011604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E75B28F0B3B611E2BB8BFCD2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
