French Revolution
, stricter rules/laws were introduced to stop any
potential rebellions.
London
was published during the
Industrial revolution
which saw rapid
urbanisation
and growth of cities like London

perspective
of an observer who sees the city as a person with its own
identity

creates a sense of
chaos
and destruction that reflects the social unrest at this time
