Description

Explore the contradictions of nineteenth-century London with Violent Victorians: Popular Entertainment in Nineteenth-Century London. While history often portrays the Victorian era as a period of increasing respectability and declining crime, this book examines the hidden side of society. It looks past the push for orderly and domestic pastimes to uncover a culture that still celebrated violent anti-heroes. From the brutal puppet Punch to the murderous Sweeney Todd, this work investigates how violent entertainment persisted even as public punishments like hanging were moved out of view. Published by Manchester University Press, this book provides a deep look into the social and cultural complexities of the era for readers interested in anthropology and sociology.
