520 |a "London began as a Roman outpost more than 2,000 years ago. Since then, it has become one of the most vibrant and notable cities in the world. This capital city has witnessed centuries of history and has been a crossroads of culture and transformation. It has also seen its fair share of sensational events and bizarre occurrences. With such a storied history, it should be unsurprising that many fascinating and notorious stories, places, and personalities are part of its legacy. It?s not hard to see why this city has gripped the imagination of people--residents and visitors alike--for generations. In the 12 lessons of Notorious London: A City Tour, you will experience a rich sampling of some of the city?s most shocking stories and infamous personalities. Taught by Professor Paul Deslandes of the University of Vermont, Notorious London dips into various regions and eras of London?s past to give you a multifaceted look into this remarkable metropolis."--Publisher's website.
