London's Underworld cover

A thrilling expose and anthropological review of London's criminal and marginalized underbelly in the early twentieth century.

A thrilling exposé and a considered anthropological review of London's seedy underbelly.

Both a thrilling exposé and a considered anthropological review, 'London’s Underworld' is driven by the author's conflicting feelings of admiration for the rebellious spirit which frees these criminals from the laws of reserved Victorian Society and also pity for the restless, violent attitudes which leave them stranded there alone.
