Synopsis

"Edwardian London" is a comprehensive social study of a specific period in the capital's history, aimed at historians and general readers alike. Every aspect of life in Edwardian London is presented through the eyes of journalists, authors, philanthropists and famous writers of that time. All subjects are covered in great detail, and no social class or ethnic group is ignored. The escapades of the nobility are compared with those of the lower ranks, adding a humorous vein to the work. Further illumination is provided by the captions which accompany the illustrations, which are almost naively explicit, if not somewhat facetious.
