It argues that the most striking thing about London's history since 1800 is the continuities and recurrences which punctuate it. The essays collected in this book focus on these themes and address important questions about class, nationality, sexual difference, and radical politics. They combine the established strengths of social history with more innovative approaches such as the history of representations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of illustrations; List of contributors; Introduction \u003ci\u003eDavid Feldman and Gareth Stedman Jones; \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe social problem; \u003c\/b\u003e1 Jennings’ Buildings and the Royal Borough: The construction of the underclass in mid-Victorian England \u003ci\u003eJennifer Davis\u003c\/i\u003e 2 The People’s Palace: An image for East London in the 1880s \u003ci\u003eDeborah E.B.
