Summary: An exploration of the underbelly of Regency London...
Comment: "Thieves Kitchen : The Regency Underworld" is an exploration of the underbelly of society in regency London. As the writer points out in the introduction, this is an era more asscosiated with Jane Austen and fine literature than prostitues, murderers, gamblers, pickpockets and "resurrection men". The book discusses the extent, types and causes of criminal activty in London, and the painfully slow implimentation of the metropolitan police fore using both the authors text and contempary reports. It also contains a number of illustrations and cartoons from the period. A fascinating and not at all dull read for anyone that has an interest in seeing the seemy side of he Regency/Victorian period.
