Using contemporary diaries, memoirs, maps and illustrations, Mary Cathcart Borer invites us to step back into history and sample, if only in imagination, the delights and idiosyncrasies of the age. All the information a newcomer to the city in 1800 would need is here: street plans, information on transport, details of lodging, entertainment, food, the main sights and events. Miss Borer describes the building of the new Bank of England, the critics' reception of Wordsworth and Coleridge's newly published Lyrical Ballads, and the scandal surrounding George, Prince of Wales and his new wife Caroline. The seamier side of London life is also explored: the bordellos, the prisons and lunatic asylums and the fast-spreading slums. The fascinating facts presented in this book about life in the capital in 1800 give an insight into the development of modern London, and will delight anyone who is interested in the city's colourful background, and who appreciates a fresh and lively approach to history.
