Bohemian London by Nick Rennison
London has always been home to outsiders. To people who won't, or can't, abide by the conventions of respectable society. For close to two centuries these misfit individualists have had a name. They have been called Bohemians. This book is an entertaining, anecdotal history of Bohemian London. A guide to its more colourful inhabitants. Rossetti and Swinburne, defying the morality of high Victorian England. Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley in the decadent 1890s. The Bloomsburyites and the Bright Young Things.
This miscellany of miscreants comes highly recommended for anyone with an interest in London's colourful cultural history, and for readers who are fuelled by the flames of rebellion -- Joanne Owen * LoveReading *
