London's Shadows: The Dark Side of the Victorian City by Drew D. Gray, reviewed by Stephen Halliday for History Today
It's lovely to see a debut book like London's Shadows receive a positive review in a publication such as History Today (this one appears in the October edition).
There's also been a favourable review in geneaology magazine Your Family Tree, which although I can't link to as it's only available in print, I can paste a snippet from: ‘A scholarly work, drawing on a wide range of sources, but it’s also very readable. It provides a welcome and sensible counterbalance to the endless titles about ‘ripperology’ with its focus on the grim realities of life in London’s poorer quarters at the time.’
And if that's got you interested, you can always preview the book itself!
