Product Description

Review

This enthralling book shows that the Victorians revelled in political and sexual scandals, murder reports, and the antics of royalty, the upper classes and celebrities. Diamond tackles his theme with verve and skill.'  Sunday Times


Entertaining… the newspapers were offering a glimpse into another kind of world, an assertion that people living not very far away from the reader had a very different, and probably more exciting, lifestyle.'  Guardian


This book is a great and not-to-be missed treat for anyone with an interest in Victorian cultural history.'  Dickensian

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Read, 4 Feb 2009
By Mrs. S. Wornham "Dajiel" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this book from the first page to the last. A fascinating book of tales of the dark side of Victorian times. It was well written and has inspired me to find out more social history from the 19th century.
