5.0 out of 5 stars Early equivalent of Google Zeigeist, topics of conversation

Ashton chronologically collected the topics of interest throughout the time period, briefly summarizing each. The topics range from important historical or social events such as Victoria's coronation, early political conflicts between her and the Government, and the results of the Census, to crimes and misdemeanors among the aristocracy, especially getting drunk and running around committing vandalism or driving (carriages) too quickly and endangering the public, to items that today we'd call gossip and urban legends, such as stories of Spring-Heeled Jack, social scandals, and "the Boy Jones," a young man who repeatedly broke into Buckingham Palace to eavesdrop.

The style is very readable, so this would be valuable to anybody curious about the period as well as to history researchers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of what made the news in Victorian London.

Selection of stories from the newspapers of the time, with a narration. Gives a good overview of what made the news, but nothing spectacularly interesting, Mostly London-centric, as everything is these days.

The layout could be better, with more separation between stories.

This book unfortunately, does not lend itself to a Kindle reader. It is a series of disjointed stories
with random quotes and references that cannot be viewed in the manner that the author must have
wished..
The anecdotes roll into each other with no literary markings and it is difficult to follow with no
way of referring back to relevant pages. .
I think it would be a completely different experience in book-form.
