About the Author:
Jerry White teaches London history at Birkbeck, University of London. He is the author of London in the Eighteenth Century: A Great and Monstrous Thing and London in the Twentieth Century: A City and Its People, which won the Wolfson History Prize in 2001. He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature by the University of London in 2005 and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
Review:
"A dazzling and dramatic narrative of a century of high-speed change... A must-have for anyone seriously interested in London's history."  —Evening Standard

"Magisterial. . . Using fragmented maps as a visual thread connecting the separate sections, White manages, street by street, to decode the crumbling cobblestones and invest fatigued and overly familiar ground with unexpected meaning."  —Observer

"Jerry White is to London as Boswell is to Johnson. . . London in the Nineteenth Century should sit on your shelf alongside Debrett's, the Oxford dictionary, and your complete set of Dickens."  —Daily Telegraph

"White's magnificent prequel to his Wolfson History Prize-winning London in the Twentieth Century. . . Charged with infectious enthusiasm for its subject, this is an unmissable treat which ought to be top of every Londoner's reading list."  —Time Out

"A brilliant account of the bursting, overflowing city, with its glittering wealth and harrowing poverty. . . A work of undoubted academic authority. . .yet it is also a poetic evocation."  —Financial Times
