What reading level is Crime City: Manchester's Victorian Underworld book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the 1840s onwards people assumed that everyone from Manchester was a thief. It was a city of rogues, prostitutes, con men, thieves, professional beggars, frauds, charlatans, hucksters, spivs, burglars, quacks, pickpockets, counterfeiters and card sharps. There was no dishonesty, no depravity, no form of violence known to man, that was not practised on Manchester’s streets.
Yet even the most prejudiced observer had to admit that not every Mancunian was an inveterate rogue. In reality there w...ere as many fine gradations in working class society as there were pubs in Manchester.
In 1851 Victoria visited Manchester. In her journal she expressed her satisfaction with the visit. She was delighted with ‘the order and good behaviour of the people’, the most impressive she had seen in her ‘many progressions through the capitals and cities’ of her kingdom. This favourable impression echoed the mid-century optimism of middle class Manchester. The respectable working man was subscribing to the self-help philosophy and the cooperative movement and not the revolutionary societies that terrified Europe’s propertied classes and threatened to undermine social order.
