Descrição da contracapa
'As if by magic, Lee Jackson rides to the rescue with his cornucopia of Victorian delight.' "The Spectator "
From slums to suburbs, freak-shows to fast food, prisons to pornography, A Dictionary of Victorian London is a fascinating expose of everyday life in the 'Great Metropolis' of Victorian London. Compiling authentic nineteenth-century voices from a multitude of sources, including advertisements, diaries, court cases, journalism and guidebooks, Lee Jackson paints a unique picture of life in a vibrant and diverse city in an alphabetical guide that ranges from A for Advertising Vans ("devoted to the promulgation of the merits of Holloway's ointment in curing diseased legs") to Z for Zazel (the world's first human cannonball). With striking contemporary illustrations throughout, this is a must read for anyone interested in the remarkable history of London and the enthralling lives of the Victorians.
Lee Jackson is the author of the acclaimed Decimus Webb series of Victorian murder mysteries, including A Metropolitan Murder, The Welfare of the Dead and The Last Pleasure Garden. He is fascinated by the social history of the Victorian city and maintains the popular website www.victorianlondon.org, devoted to exploring the minutiae of daily life in 'The Great Metropolis'. He lives in Stoke Newington, London, with his partner Joanne and their daughter Clara.
