About the author

John Camden Hotten

1832–1873

A sharp-eyed Victorian publisher and bibliophile, he is still remembered for turning the language of the street into a book worth keeping. His work on slang and popular culture helped preserve a lively side of 19th-century Britain that might otherwise have slipped away.
