A Dictionary of Victorian London: An A-Z of the Great Metropolis (Anthem Nineteenth Century Studies)

Customer Reviews

An authentic peek into a pivotal era and a fantastic resource for historians and writers - By: Barbara Bergmann, 13 Jan 2007
I happened upon A Dictionary of Victorian London some years ago when I was exploring the web in search of background material for a novel. Since then I have returned again & again to Lee Jackson's vastly comprehensive web site. Mr Jackson has now selected the best bits for publication. It is full of primary resource material & is a fascinating read for anyone seeking authentic Victoriana. Highly recommend!

Great fun even if, like me, you do not live in London. You can turn to almost any page in this book & be intantly transported back over 100 years to a time when things were very different but oddly the same. Packed with fascinating tid-bits, this book is great to dip into (in a Schott's Miscellany sort of way, but ultimately more satisfying) & includes letters to the editor of newspapers, contemporary descriptions taken from books & many other sources.
