Summary | "London in the Sixties (with a few digressions)" by Donald Shaw and Ernest Widmington is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work offers a vivid portrayal of London during the 1860s, capturing the societal norms, nightlife, and military life of the era. The authors present a nostalgic lens through which readers can observe the dramatic changes within the city, as well as recount the experiences and transformations of its various inhabitants. The opening of the text introduces readers to a reflective narrator who recalls the stark contrasts between the London of the 1860s and its modern counterpart. The author describes a vibrant and somewhat bohemian atmosphere, rich with characters such as soldiers, tavern owners, and the infamous nightclubs that defined the social fabric of the time. As the narrator details his military beginnings and the unforgettable nights spent at various venues—from lively taverns to questionable establishments—he paints a detailed picture of a society that thrived on revelry and risk-taking, all while hinting at the moral complexities intertwined within such experiences.
