Description: This socio-cultural study of the place occupied by the City of London within British cultural life during the Victorian and Edwardian periods investigates the two traditional views of the City as a global financial centre: London as a theatre of corruption, fraud and scandal; and as a place of success and power for the ambitious elite.
