Description

The Thames Embankment is one of those books like Asa Briggs' Victorian Cities that provides a kind of imaginative archaeology, permitting modern students of Victorian literature, art, and culture to gain a sense of an age that simultaneously had so much and so little in common with our own. . . . [It] is a treasure trove for any one wanting to understand and experience more of Victorian England. —George P. Landow, Professor of English and Art History, Brown University
