Thesis Title: The Constable and the Crowd. Life on the Streets in Victorian London
About
I am studying the social interaction of the public realm in Victorian London from the perspective of presentations of self, as defined by Erving Goffman. By using police constables' notebooks and reports my thesis centres around the working class and the policing of their behaviour in the industrial city.
