"""With Nether World, Drew D. Gray offers a lively and insightful picture of a quintessential Victorian institution, the London Police courts. Focusing on the courts' ubiquitous portrayals in newspapers and their employment as rich fodder for journalists seeking to portray the dramatic and the melodramatic, Gray brings these courts and their colorful denizens into vivid focus. Readers interested in law, crime, sensation, popular journalism, and the history of working-class trials and tribulations in Victorian London will all find much to engage with in this well-written and insightful work."" --Sascha Auerbach, Associate Professor of History, University of Nottingham, and author of ""Armed with Sword and Scales: Law, Culture, and Local Courtrooms in London, 1860-1913"""
