Description

The Story of Covent Garden by Mary Cathcart Borer

In this fascinating and well researched work, Borer has produced a comprehensive history of Covent Garden. She examines its role as a market and from the Restoration its rich theatrical tradition. Because of its links with the arts, it has long had a bohemian and intellectual tradition. As well as this it has also had a more seedier reputation. Since Tudor times it had a reputation as a haunt of courtesans and prostitues. Covent Garden then, has had a long and complex role in the social and cultural life of London.
