The 19th Century Underworld

Crime, Controversy and Corruption

Beschreibung

Take a walk on the dark side of the street in this unique exploration of the fears and desires at the heart of the British Empire. Enter a world of gin spinners, sneaksmen and Covent Garden nuns, where bare-knuckled boxers slog it out for dozens of rounds, children are worth more dead than alive, and the Thames holds more bodies than the Ganges.
