| Summary | "London in Modern Times" by Unknown is a historical account written in the mid-19th century that explores the city of London during the 17th and 18th centuries. This work presents an intricate tapestry of London's development, detailing significant events such as the English Civil Wars, the Plague, and the Great Fire, while also examining the cultural, economic, and architectural evolution of the metropolis. The opening of this historical narrative sets the stage by providing an introduction to London's rich past, emphasizing the complex interplay of life within its streets and buildings, populated by tales of valor, vice, and salvation. It establishes a context of continuous change, depicting London as a living entity with its own soul and character, witnessing the ebb and flow of human experience. The subsequent chapter begins with a focus on London under the Stuart monarchy, discussing its rapid population growth and the resulting tensions, while introducing key societal dynamics and conflicts that characterized this turbulent era.
