Georgian London the book will be available in hardback in the Spring of 2012, published by Penguin Books.

-----------------------------------

Welcome to Georgian London. My particular interests are the immigrant population and the artisan communities of London during the 18th century, as well as day to day trivia and the more bizarre aspects of London life three centuries ago. The blog covers the period between 1660 and 1836, but Georgian London keeps things nice and simple.

I am delighted and very flattered to be able to say Georgian London was voted 'History Website of 2009' by the online readers of History Today Magazine, and also won the 2009 Cliopatria Award for 'Best Individual Blog' and 'Best New Blog'.

'Fun and engaging posts covering day to day trivia and the more bizarre aspects of eighteenth-century London life. One of the best history blogs out there.' The Digital Scholar

'From London's 18th century rookeries, to being a dwarf in 18th century England, to Jeremy Bentham and the birth of a surveillance society, to what it was like to have gout, to bizarre birth stories from Gentleman's Magazine, Georgian London informs, instructs, and entertains us on ordinary life in 18th century London, emphasizing especially the artisan and immigrant populations of the city. This is fascinating social history presented in blog form, and is a terrific younger entrant into the burgeoning history blog scene.' History News Network

'The focus is, as the title suggests, all eighteenth-century London all the time...and the more you know, the more wonderful it gets, at once more real and more fantastic.' Erin O'Connor, Critical Mass
