Vic Gatrell explores the vibrant, often transgressive lives of the artists and writers who defined London’s creative landscape during the Georgian era. By examining the intersection of high art and low-life subcultures, the text reveals how these figures utilized satire and caricature to challenge the social hierarchies of the Enlightenment. This study provides a comprehensive look at the origins of the bohemian spirit within the urban sprawl of eighteenth-century Britain.
