- London’s Criminal Underworlds offers a cultural history of London’s ‘dangerous classes’ from the eighteenth century to 1930s. It is based on extensive archival research in the criminal records of the period to trace the history of the relationship between the incidence and representation of crime both on the street and in various modes of print culture across two centuries. Each chapter deals with a particular example of a sensational case in criminal activity from larceny to murder. It demonstrates the ways in which criminal subcultures were both reflected by and constructed in popular print culture.
