Description:
This is the first modern one-volume history of London from Roman times to the present. An extraordinary city. London grew from a backwater in the Classical age into an important medieval city, a significant Renaissance urban center, and a modern colossus. Not since ancient times has there been such a city -- not eternal, but vibrant, living, full of a free people ever evolving. In this transcendent book, Roy Porter touches the pulse of his hometown and makes it our own, capturing London's fortunes, people, and imperial glory with brio and wit.
