The Victorian Underworld
The Victorian Underworld | Kellow Chesney
1 post
Beneath the respectable surface of Victorian England lay a criminal world as diverse, turbulent and vicious as any. This begins by looking at that age and its penal methods and it then recreates the showmen, religious fakes, garrotters, pickpockets, prostitutes and magsmen who thronged the murky rookeries and lays of the cities.

I bought this book second hand many years ago and it has been read several times since then. It is falling apart in many places despite being repaired. Does make it slightly harder to read!
