An absorbing read, full of good quotations and riveting anecdote... A significant piece of scholarship
English Historical Review
Charlotte Brontë once wrote: "At the West End you may be amused, but in the City you are deeply excited." A better blurb for this book is hard to imagine... Wonderfully vivid
Mail on Sunday
Exceptionally readable...a colourful narrative full of well-judged extracts from contemporary material
Financial Times
It would be difficult to conceive a more lucid or entertaining study of a subject both immensely complex and of the greatest historical importance
Daily Telegraph
It's rare to be able to say that a historical book is positively life-enhancing but David Kynaston, in his vivacious yet measured book, has proved that he is a rare kind of writer
