- Summary:
- Alongside the world of Pride and Prejudice and the Nature poets, of Constable and Nash, there also existed a pulsating underworld where crime and vice of every kind flourished. Venture into this forgotten world, and discover a vivid picture of pleasure-seekers, criminals and body-snatchers at work. This revised edition (out of print for over 15 years) includes a new introduction by the author, who has extensively re-illustrated the book with a variety of contemporary prints, portraits and cartoons to bring the period and the characters during 1800-1830 to life.
