Title: Doctor D’Arco, Sorcerer of London: A Victorian Gothic Romance
Author: Kathryn Colvin
Description:
This anthology has one simple goal: to give the reader a flavour of ‘how life was lived’ in Victorian London, through the words of the Victorians themselves. It is not a comprehensive study; but I have revisited an archive of ten years’ reading and research – nineteenth century diaries, newspapers, magazines, memoirs, guidebooks – in an attempt to include as many diverse aspects of Victorian life as possible. There is, I must admit, a certain bias in my choice of material: I concentrate on the poor and middle-class. Queen Victoria is glimpsed at a distance, in Hyde Park; MPs and members of the aristocracy appear as the patrons of charities; but this is a book about the everyday.
