| Written in the late 1800's, The History of London by Sir Walter Besant gives an account of the city from its humble beginnings to the greatness of the Victorian era. Although its premise is the history of London, it does not confine itself to mere facts about that one city, but explores what life was like for the citizens of London across its long history, and the links between historical events, culture and the experiences of Londoners and wider society. |
