This book offers a panoramic view of Georgian London, redefining the city’s role in the industrial, agricultural and consumer revolutions. It does this by examining, for the first time, the huge contribution that horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs made to the world’s first modern metropolis, as well as the serious challenges the animals posed.
