The East End, as it has been known, was the home to Shakespeare's first theater and to the early stirrings of a mass labor movement; it has also traditionally been seen as a place of darkness and despair, where Jack the Ripper committed his gruesome murders, and cholera and poverty stalked the Victorian streets.In this beautifully illustrated history of this iconic district, John Marriott draws on twenty-five years of research into the subject to present an authoritative and endlessly fascinating account. With the aid of copious maps, archive prints and photographs, and the words of East Londoners from seventeenth-century silk weavers to Cockneys during the Blitz, he explores the relationship between the East End and the rest of London, and challenges many of the myths that surround the area. 606 $aPopular culture$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 607 $aEast End (London, England)$xHistory 607 $aLondon (England)$xHistory 607 $aEast End (London, England)$xSocial conditions 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 676 $a942.1/7 700 $aMarriott$b John$f1944-$0800721 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457190803321 996 $aBeyond the tower$92480306 997 $aUNINA
