The Mysteries of London, v. 2/4 by George W. M. Reynolds
"The Mysteries of London, v. 2/4" by George W. M. Reynolds is a penny blood serial published beginning in 1844. This sensation swept mid-nineteenth century Britain, attracting more readers than Dickens himself. Reynolds exposes London's stark contrasts—from criminal underworld to corrupt aristocracy—through interwoven plots centered on hero Richard Markham and the villainous Resurrection Man, a serial killer. Inspired by Eugène Sue's Parisian tales, Reynolds crafted a sociological narrative revealing vice, depravity, and
class inequities while championing working-class struggles against upper-class decadence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
