«The Victorian Underworld» is a social history essay by Kellow Chesney, published by Penguin in paperback (464 pages, in English).
The book reveals the flip side of Victorian England: criminals, beggars, pickpockets and charlatans who lived in the poorest districts. Chesney analyses their occupations and tricks, from fairground workers and false preachers to thieves and garrotters, and describes the underworld of misery hidden behind the façade of respectability.
The work belongs to Penguin's Pelican Books series and is framed within the social and criminal history of nineteenth-century Britain.
Recommended for readers interested in British social history, criminology and the Victorian era.
