The Secret History of Georgian London
The Secret History Of
Georgian London
£9.99
Georgian London evokes images of elegant buildings & fine art, but it was also a city where prostitution was rife, houses of ill repute widespread, & many tens of thousands of people dependent in some way or other on the wages of sin. The sex industry was, in fact, a very powerful force indeed, & in The Secret History of Georgian London, Dan Cruickshank compellingly shows how it came to affect almost every aspect of life & culture in the capital. Examining the nature of the sex trade, he offers a tantalising insight into the impact of prostitution to give us vivid portraits of some of the women who became involved in its world. & he discusses the very varied attitudes of contemporaries
- those who sympathised, those who indulged, & those who condemned. As he powerfully argues, these women, & many thousands like them, not only shaped eighteenth-century London, they also helped determine its future development.
