The English Scene, in the Eighteenth Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book analyzes 18th-century England by studying various aspects of London life during that period. The author identifies three different cities within London as they existed at the time, each with distinct characteristics: The Capital, The City of Pleasure, and The Seaport. The book explains how these three cities and the people inhabiting them collectively provide a fuller understanding of London and England as a whole. The author also presents the evolving character of London life and the English people during this era when politics and religion were less dominant in society and various professions and interests began to increase. This movement also coincided with the beginning of technological innovation and industry in English society. By examining these changes, the author sheds light on London's transformation from a collection of separate communities into a single city, and how this transformation reflected significant changes in English society as a whole.
