The Seven Curses of London (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417971169)

The Seven Curses of London is a book written by James Greenwood that explores the darker side of Victorian London. The book is a collection of seven essays, each focusing on a different social issue that plagued the city during this time. Topics covered include poverty, prostitution, crime, disease, and the exploitation of children. Greenwood draws on his own experiences as a journalist and social commentator to provide a vivid and often shocking account of life in the city's slums and backstreets. He also offers insights into the attitudes and beliefs of the time, revealing the prejudices and misconceptions that often perpetuated these social problems. The Seven Curses of London is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on a forgotten chapter of British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
