      Between 1770 and 1830, London was the world's largest and richest city, the centre of hectic social ferment and of sexual liberation. Combining words and images to offer an original panorama of that time, this book is a reappraisal of a period of seismic change and an account of the origins of our attitudes to sex, celebrity and satire.
