This text looks at prostitution in London during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Drawing data from the archives of London's parishes, jury records, and reports from Southwark Gaol, the book aims to shed light on London society, its policing systemes, and its attitudes toward the female poor.
This is the first full-length study of prostitution in London during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It is a compelling account, exposing the real lives of the capital''s prostitutes, and also shedding light on London society as a whole, its policing systems and its attitudes towards the female urban poor. Drawing on the archives of London''s parishes, jury records, reports from Southwark gaol as well as other sources which have been overlooked by historians, it provides a fascinating study for all those interested in Georgian society.
