Abstract:
In 1888 London was the capital of the most powerful empire the world had ever known, and the largest city in Europe. However, there is a dark side to London's history. London’s shadows uses the ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders to explore prostitution, poverty, immigration, terrorism, the criminal underclass and the problems of policing. With a lively and very readable narrative London shadows tells the story of the late Victorian capital through the sensational pages of the contemporary newspapers
