By A Customer
This review is from: The London Mob: Violence and Disorder in Eighteenth-century London (Hardcover)
This is a great book. By combining a wonderful and detailed knowledge of eighteenth-century London with a clear question about the nature of violence, Shoemaker turns the best kind of social science, in to a great read. According to the London Mob, violence of all kinds (duels, murders, fist fights and riots) declined dramatically in London over the course of the eighteenth century. By avoiding any pat answers as to why this might have been the case, Shoemaker explains this change by reference to a series of subtle transitions in the culture of masculinity and politeness, in the technical developments of public spaces and of fire arms.

As much as this book contains a convincing argument, it is also written in a compelling style that draws the reader along, while introducing them to a colourful cast of charaters - both the viciously criminal, and the pompously legalistic.
