'Our glimpse at the lives of those million creatures touches on a kaleidoscopic range of subjects… judicious choice of contemporary sources ensures Jackson's book never lapses into stale Victoriana.' —'FT Magazine'

'This is a fascinating book to dig into.' —Museum of London

A wonderful A-Z of curiosities, sensationalism and oddities of daily Victorian life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An authentic peek into a pivotal era and a fantastic resource for historians and writers, 13 Jan 2007

Barbara Bergmann (Claremont, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Dictionary of Victorian London: An A-Z of the Great Metropolis (Anthem Art and Culture) (Hardcover)

I happened upon A Dictionary of Victorian London some years ago when I was exploring the web in search of background material for a novel. Since then I have returned again and again to Lee Jackson's vastly comprehensive web site. Mr Jackson has now selected the best bits for publication. It is full of primary resource material and is a fascinating read for anyone seeking authentic Victoriana. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive, 25 Nov 2006

JoseGold (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Dictionary of Victorian London: An A-Z of the Great Metropolis (Anthem Art and Culture) (Hardcover)

Great fun even if, like me, you do not live in London. You can turn to almost any page in this book and be intantly transported back over 100 years to a time when things were very different but oddly the same. Packed with fascinating tid-bits, this book is great to dip into (in a Schott's Miscellany sort of way, but ultimately more satisfying) and includes letters to the editor of newspapers, contemporary descriptions taken from books and many other sources.
