Summary: | This work examines the urban development of medieval Southwark from its Roman origins. The author traces in detail Southwark's transformation from a semi-rural straggle of dwellings into a densely-inhabited community displaying such characteristically urban features as a diversified economy, a stratified and heterogenous society, an excess of rubbish and a traffic problem. |
