Book Description:
|
The scene of some of London's poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods, the East End of London has long been misunderstood as abject and deviant. Heidi Kaufman applies the resources of archives both material and digital to move beyond icon and stereotype to reveal a deeper understanding of East End literature and culture in the Victorian age.
