The secret history of Georgian London : how the wages of sin shaped the capital
Cruickshank, Dan2010
Books, Manuscripts
Georgian London evokes images of elegant buildings and fine art, but it was also a city where prostitution was rife and thousands of people were dependent on the wages of sin. The sex industry was, in fact, a very powerful force indeed, and in this book, Dan Cruickshank shows how it came to affect almost every aspect of life in the capital.
