This collection offers the first detailed investigation of political
life in nineteenth-century London. London politics did not share the
free-trade and civil-equality preoccupations of the provinces which
currently dominate scholarly literature. As these essays reveal, the
capital remained more concerned with older struggles for political
independence. By highlighting the inability of existing accounts to
accommodate metropolitan distinctiveness, the collection aims to
stimulate a major reappraisal not of London politics alone, but of
Victorian political history more generally.
