London Lives: Poverty, Crime and the Making of a Modern City, 1690–1800
Hitchcock, Tim (University of Sussex)
London Lives exposes, for the first time, the lesser-known experiences of eighteenth-century thieves, paupers, prostitutes and highwaymen. In charting the experiences of London's criminal and poor inhabitants, the book surveys their responses to show us how their daily acts of desperation helped to shape the evolution of the modern state.
