The European city was transformed when public lighting was introduced in the last century and "night life" was made possible for the first time. This is an investigation of the various aspects of Paris, Berlin, London and their inhabitants at night between 1840 and 1930. It deals with topical issues such as crime in the city, urban improvement and the predicament of women. By day the author sifted through countless police and church archives, city records and first-hand accounts; by night he explored the highways and byways of the three great cities.

Joachim Schloer is a cultural historian at the University of Southampton. He is the author of Tel Aviv, also published by Reaktion Books.
