Victorian City - Re-Issue V1 (Hardcover, Re-Issue)

Originally published in two volumes, this work provides an understanding of the urban past and present. With its many-sided approach to the total phenomenon of the Victorian city, the work encompasses not only what took place, but what people thought about themselves as it happened. The books should appeal to a wide general audience, including a range of scholars - historians, literary and art historians, social scientists, and architects and town planners. Its focus is particularly in the study of the social and intellectual attitudes of Victorian society to the challenge of urbanization.
