Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if walls could talk? For historian Madeleine Pelling, they can - if you know where to lookAn aristocrat carves obscenities into a tavern window with his diamond ring. A shopkeeper's daughter sketches customers with a piece of coal. A desperate highwayman, condemned to death, scratches his initials into his prison cell door.

Noting that from the earliest human history the compulsion to leave one's mark appears to have been accepted with little controversy, Madeleine Pelling analyses numerous examples of these varied, often ephemeral and unruly textual and pictorial scribblings. Scratched into walls, chalked on doors or etched into windows, they articulate the experiences of the ordinary inhabitants of Georgian Britain and paint a rich and complex portrait of a society in transition.
