About the author

John Plotz is Assistant Professor of English at the Johns Hopkins University.

Summary

Between 1800 and 1850, political demonstrations and the tumult of a ballooning street life not only brought novel kinds of crowds onto the streets of London, but also fundamentally changed British ideas about public and private space. This book demonstrates the influence of these crowds, riots, and demonstrations on the period's literature.
