London in the eighteenth century was very much a new city risen from the ashes of the Great Fire. With thousands of homes & many landmark buildings destroyed it had been brought to the brink. But the following century was a period of vigorous expansion of scientific & artistic genius of blossoming reason civility elegance & manners. It was also an age of extremes: of starving poverty & exquisite fashion of joy & despair of sentiment & cruelty. Society was fractured by geography politics religion & history. & everything was complicated by class. As Daniel Defoe put it London really was a great & monstrous Thing. Jerry Whites tremendous portrait of this turbulent century explores how & to what extent Londoners negotiated & repaired these open wounds. We see them going about their business as bankers or beggars revelling in an enlarging world of public pleasures indulging in crimes both great & small
