Technology-railways, street-lighting, and sewers-transformed both the city and the experience of city-living. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the moment Charles Dickens, the century's best-loved novelist and London's greatest observer, arrived in the city in 1822, he obsessively walked its streets, recording its pleasures, curiosities and cruelties. Now, with him, Judith Flanders leads us through the markets, transport systems, rivers, slums, alleys, cemeteries, gin palaces, chop-houses and entertainment emporia of Dickens' London, to reveal the Victorian capital in all its variety, vibrancy, and squalor. From the colorful cries of street-sellers to the uncomfortable reality of travel by omnibus, to the many uses for the body parts of dead horses and the unimaginably grueling working days of hawker children, no detail is too small, or too strange. No one who reads Judith Flanders's meticulously researched, captivatingly written \u003ci\u003eThe Victorian City\u003c\/i\u003e will ever view London in the same light again.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJUDITH FLANDERS is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author and one of the foremost social historians of the Victorian era. \u003ci\u003eThe Victorian City\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the 2014 \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize.
