pp. xxiv, (5), 342, color and b/w illustrations, “Like its acclaimed predecessors, RESTORATION LONDON and DR JOHNSON’S LONDON, this book is the result of the author’s passionate interest in the practical details of everyday life – and the conditions in which most people lived – so often ignored in conventional history books. The book begins with the River Thames, which – from its surly water-men to its great occasions – played such a central part in the city’s life. It moves on to the streets, houses and gardens; cooking, housework and shopping; clothes, jewellery and make-up; health and medicine; sex and food; education, etiquette and hobbies; religion, law and crime.”
